Sunday Sharing Vol: 22

Each Sunday we post interesting articles, videos, podcast episodes, and more that we’ve consumed from across the web. We’ll give our thoughts on what we’ve learned through others in Sunday Sharing.

What We’re Reading

The Maze Runner By James Dashner

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.

The huge difference between being in debt and having debt – I Dream of Fire
I think most people would consider having debt to be a negative. After all, it typically means you owe someone money to buy something you didn’t have enough to pay for at the time you wanted it.
And there are many examples of that type of debt and the terrible consequences it has for vast swaths of humanity.
But not all debt is created equal.

10 Questions With The Crusher – 1500 Days

There are approximately 476,492,292,928 personal finance blogs last time I checked. Why should we read yours?
There does seem to be an ungodly number of personal finance blogs anymore. That is likely the main reason we have not started our own even though we believe we have some valuable information to share about our journey. It has become almost trendy to have a blog. Not a big fan of trendy, regardless of the trend. While we do not have a blog, we do try to share helpful comments on other blogs that we enjoy and read regularly. It is fun to be a part of the FIRE community in that way.

A 7-Step Guide to Building Your Ultimate Emergency Fund – Dough Roller

Building a true emergency savings account isn’t easy. It may sound easy, but it’s not. You’ll have to make sacrifices and be very in-touch with your money.
You can’t exactly set-it-and-forget-it and just hope your checking account doesn’t overdraw each month. You need to make a strict budget and observe your money. You also need to have self-control and cut back on spending.
Paying off debt can be frustrating and defeating at times, but if you create goals and track them (visually even), it will be so much more satisfying when you achieve those goals.

Living A Better Life Interview – Principal FI

What advice do you have for others in living a better life?

Two things:

Find the part of your life that feels most out of control and focus on making a plan. In many cases, that’s financial. But not always. The simple act of taking control provides immediate benefits.
Engage your partner/family. Your closest relationships can either be barriers or force multipliers. Whatever change you’re making will be improved if your family is engaged as well. And, nothing improves your life like those you love being right there with you.

The Maze Runner is really popular with my younger students, especially the boys. There’s 3 in the series, right?
(I’m in the last week of summer holiday here, so work-related things are being kept deliberately hazy!)
