why I'm not going back to the 9-5 and rat race. settling back in Toronto, my C$0.53 cabbage soup
I've been in the Netherlands for 3 months already, so it's time to go back to Toronto 🥹. In this video, I talk about why I left the rat race and not going back. I'll also share an update about what I'm currently working on through my website (simplyfreely.com), which is a place for me to build tools and calculator based on the FIRE (financial independence retire early) movement. Meal prep this week, is a super inexpensive but nutritious C$0.53 ($0.37 or €0,35) cabbage soup, perfect for the cold weather. see below for a breakdown of the ingredients and prices. I'm building a Financial Independence planner & net worth tracker, based on the exact spreadsheet I used to achieve FI.
