Saving requires forgoing spending today for benefits in the future. Whilst it's clear that financially, to live entirely in the present with no allowance for the future is unwise, there is the potential to go too far the other way. But how do you know what the right balance is? <a href= "https://financialautonomy.com.au/general-advice-disclaimer/">[Disclaimer]</a> <a href="https://financialautonomy.com.au/">[Website]</a>

Could you be over-saving?

Plenty of books, podcasts and blogs focus on building wealth – and that's great, as far as it goes. But focusing just on wealth misses the point. 

I believe what most of us actually want is to have choice.

Choice in how much time we give to income-producing activities.
Choice about what those income-producing activities are.
Choice about where we live.
Choice about when we retire.
Choice about the ways we use our money to produce happiness.

In the Financial Autonomy podcast, I explore the different ways you can gain choice - from investing in stocks to becoming self-employed, starting a side hustle, or buying an investment property. I share learnings I've gained working with clients for over 20 years as a Certified Financial Planner, and interview others with interesting insights or experiences in gaining choice in life.
