Thoughts from along the way.
Money has a funny way of sitting quietly in the background of life.
Until something changes.
A repayment gets uncomfortable.
A child comes along.
Another property starts to feel possible.
Retirement doesn’t seem quite as far away as it used to.
Or sometimes, nothing dramatic happens at all.
You simply start wondering whether you’re doing this right.
I spend a lot of time sitting across the table from people at moments like these.
Field Notes is where I stop and think about the questions that keep coming up.
Some are practical. Some are philosophical.
All begin with real life.
More Field Notes
Some questions don’t have short answers.
Occasionally a Field Note turns into something larger.
An idea worth following further.
A question worth pulling apart properly.
That’s what the books are for.
“The questions worth asking are often hiding in ordinary life.” — Frank Barragan
