We sipped Matcha and had a major life-strategy conversation.

We are trying to untangle why we are experiencing life as deeply traumatic and exhausting. We counted the actual number of days / hours worked over the past year and had a look at the income to work ratio but also at the amount of days taken off work. It was great to get a lot of clarity on those numbers. We discussed alternative income sources and also how to handle the pressures of life a bit better, to not have the overwhelm eat us alive.

We haven’t exactly arrived at a concrete plan but today was definitely a step in the right direction.

We talked about the dream of being able to save money each month, to be better prepared for the future. We agreed that we would love to aim this high and within the next 15 years turn our future fate around to become something that we can manage to live with, and might possibly even enjoy. We talked about creating something like a pre-nup but as a post-nup (?) to better secure each other.

And Jason started talking about how if I put more in then I should get more out, but I interrupted him. I really think that we are in this together and we both deserve a secure future and we should build that and then share that together. We both deserve to be economically safe. But we should still have a legal document and he agreed that creating this post-nup type document would be good. You just never know what could happen. Nobody plans to fall out and become estranged but it probably is best to talk everything through and have it on paper. Ultimately, if anything ever happens to us as a unite then having a pre-agreed documet, takes pressure off. We won’t have to deal with the stress of untangling things and I believe that when we plan for the worst case scenarios then those scenarios don’t happen in the first place.

We brainstormed a few ideas that might help make us this amount of money, without running ourselves into the ground.

Eventually we had to take a break. 4 hours masterminding life is a lot. But I tinkered with some offerings and pricing ideas on my own for a bit and I really think today was very helpful. We
