You can afford anything, but you can't afford everything.

Every choice that you make is a trade-off against something else and that applies not

just to your money.

But to how you spend your time, your focus, your energy, your attention, any limited resource

in your life.

And that leads to two questions.

One, how do you want to direct these resources?

What is most important to you?

Two, how do you make sure that your daily decisions align with that?

Answering these two questions is a lifetime practice and that is what this podcast is here

to explore.

My name is Paula Pat.

I'm the host of the Afford Anything Podcast.

Every other episode I answer questions that come from you, the community.

And today we're going to kick off with a question from someone who wants to reach financial

independence, F.I.

But is not there yet?

She and her husband would like to make big lifestyle changes, move out of the city into

somewhere more bucolic?

Given that they haven't reached F.I. yet, should they make this leap?

Let's hear her question.

Hi, Paula.
