Choices, choices and choices

This week i faced a hard choice, but in the end the rational part of my mind took a break, and i decided to work some extra 40 hours in order to achieve what i was planning for the current month. I checked and i really, really wanted to earn more than i need to spend for what is left of this year. So, if i am not clever enough (yet) to gain more money for the same amount of time (as Ramit Sethi would say - by the way, go fast to his blog, he is giving his book "I will teach you to be rich" for free at the moment, some good ideas there), coming back, if i cannot gain more money for the same amount of time, than i will work more time for more money. But i will keep the promises done to myself. We will see how efficient this step was at the end of this month. And year.

Meanwhile, market is rising, soon will be a good time to sell some of the shares i want to get rid off, right?

And to finish the post with some nice tips, if you are looking for a new hobby like building off-grid houses, here is a blog post with some free plans links.

MrMoneyMustache versus Ramit Sethi

How do i see it and who is winning this epic clash in my mind? Probably only a handful of people know what i am talking about. But i will do this post, mostly because those two are the one who inspired me to start my journey to financial independence. In the left corner of my mind ring we have MMM, the silent assassin of the useless desires, the stoic, MR. MONEYMUSTACHEEEE! In the right corner, the olive skinned toreador, and his golden cape, RAMIT SETHIII! Betting are on, who gonna win?

And despite my warlike scenario, the two of them like each other, i could say, even if they do not approve completely of their 'arch-nemesis' strategy. But they offered a beer one another's, and i see them drinking one of MMM home brew, or a Golden flake 12.000 dollars beer, depending on who is setting up the place.

Regarding me, i was always an adept of learning from everyone, so i applied some of techniques inspired by both. I would say that most of the time i go towards a Mustachian style of life, but then I would ask you, which way are you going if you will be asked to choose a position in between those two?

P.S. I am talking about the following blogs: MrMoneyMustache,com - personal finance and early retirement blog and iwillteachyoutoberich.com - a blog about how to reach a luxury lifestyle
