On the financial freedom journey, I've learned that consistency to the point of boredom pays off in the long run.
One of my clients expressed disappointment because the solutions I recommended to her were not as exciting as she expected. I asked her, if this approach gets you to your financial goals, then who cares? You can create your own excitement when you're financially free. Knowing you are on your way to your goal should be exciting enough.
As you already know, some habits can be as boring as watching paint dry. But that doesn't render them any less effective.
Setting aside money into both your contingency and financial freedom fund accounts can seem ordinary after doing it over and over again for years. But the results can't be denied. Let the excitement of your results motivate you to continue.
The key to financial freedom for me is generating enough passive income to pay my expenses. Writing covered calls is a technique I use in the stock market to generate passive income. I use the same systematic approach doing the same steps with different stocks and ETFs over and over again. And because I've been doing these steps for so long sometimes they can seem ordinary.
However, I let the excitement of buying my condo outright with cash a couple years ago and becoming mortgage free motivate me to continue the financial habits of becoming wealthy.
Remember to stay the course and eventually you will reach your goals.
All the best to you on your financial journey!
