I've been on a mission lately: to transform my car from a simple vehicle into a self-sufficient base for any situation. The goal is to be prepared for the two most likely scenarios: an unexpected breakdown or a spontaneous adventure.
Forget long stories; the value is in the preparation. This is the comprehensive guide I'm building for myself and others. Here are the detailed checklists, structured for quick reference.
For the past six months, I've meticulously tracked every expense, down to the smallest purchase.
I had done this in the past, but I was on my own. This time, I am managing a household budget for TWO .. ON A FIXED INCOME 🤯. If it was two of me? easy, But balancing two sets of 'needs' and 'wants'? It is a real challenge to say the least. Spending has become far less predictable than ever.
As the saying goes 'What gets measured gets managed', tracking is the first step toward better control.
Imagine losing everything you own, being forced to flee your home, and starting over with nothing. That was the reality for Uthman ibn Affan, a prominent figure in early Islamic history. He migrated to Medina with virtually nothing, yet through astute business practices, he rose to become one of the wealthiest men of his time.
Sometimes, you come across something that just "clicks"! And this 30 min documentary was one of those moments.
Today marks 6 months since I tied the knot. It’s been a wonderful journey so far. As I discover what life as a married man is like and how different it is from what I imagined. It’s been a mix of learning, adapting, and growing together.
