I recently went on a camping trip to the mountains.  I never take for granted that I live in a place that is on many people’s bucket lists.  To many, this weekend away was a dream trip that they wait their entire lives to take.  For me, it was something to do on the weekend.

But, there are lessons in everything.  As I was hefting my 40lb pack up a mountain, passing waterfalls and the most beautiful scenery, I was fully unplugged from the rest of the world.  And with that comes the space to think.

I took some notes on the 5 Financial Independence lessons I learned on that trip and hope they are helpful to you.

See my social media links for pics of the trip (FB, IG) .  And if you’re working toward checking things off your bucket list and need some guidance and accountability while on the go, Pocket Coaching may be just the thing to kickstart your dream life.
