Tao's Journal (Multiple Subs)

[Tao374]

So considering that I had never done more than 1 loop per day I decided to start with 3 loop and 6 days off then work up to 4 or 5.  It had the same effect as when I first started the sub.  I got extremely exhausted before even listening to the loops.  It's almost like this sub effects time in away that it starts drawing energy in advance.  Needless to say it took me about 24 hours to recover from listening to 3 loops counting the 8 or so hours before I listened.

I've noticed something interesting.  I would consider myself very financially educated going into using this sub.  I have lived well within my means and always had an interest in investing.  I only spend somewhere in the ball park of 60-70% of my income.  I keep numerous spreadsheets to track everything I do financially.  I've always had an interest in finance and money.  Plus I further developed my financial education reading books like the Richest Man In Babylon and Rich Dad Poor Dad.  So going into this sub I assumed it was going to make me more frugal and save even more money that I already was, wrong.  While I still think saving money and investing is critical to my future I tend to want to spend more money on things that will create an abundant life for me.  A lot of what I was doing was fear based.  I believed that I need to be somewhat extreme in my saving to have any chance to invest enough money to become financially free (investment income exceeding expenses) in the next 10-15.  Now I seem to have the mind set that I can make way more money and that this is going to happen soon.  I feel like I can have luxury and still invest plenty of money.  For example I tend to be using services like DoorDash more when I don't want to cook.  Before I would have considered this to be a waste of money (partially from my financial upbringing from my parent).  Now I do it twice a week or so and it adds quality to my life.  Also, I'm very passionate about drinking tea everyday.  I have been purchasing some very high end and exclusive teas that have a pretty high price tag.  It is something that I'm passionate about and is also adding quality to my life.  I have faith that I will be able to generate the money to fund my investment accounts while still living a very good life over the years to come.
