Sunday reflections

My son Max spent the night at a friend's house, his weekly soccer game is this afternoon so I have been able to sleep more than usual on a weekend.
I woke up late, I managed to stay between the sheets, enjoying a few quality moments with myself since I did not have any responsibilities to undertake immediately during the morning.
I have even had time to reflect on the future. The truth is that as the years go by and I get older, I feel a kind of vertigo that makes me constantly alert, becoming obsessed with the idea that I am really getting old and that time is slipping away from me.
It is something that, as I have already said, obsesses me.
And it is related to uncertainty, to how difficult it is to predict what is going to happen and to the obvious decline in my ability to react as I get older.
For some years now, I have been planning and managing my investments facing the future that is already arriving... I still have many years left in which I should "work for others" but one of my "vital" objectives is to be self-sufficient as soon as possible.
Some also call it being "financially free" or even a "sovereign individual."

The reality is that no matter how much you plan for the future, unforeseen things happen, and that is why you must always have a good "Financial cushion", whether due to unforeseen illnesses, financing of children's studies, or any other eventuality...
I am at that point in life when you can see that your children are beginning to be more and more self-sufficient, my oldest daughter is about to enter university, and my son is starting high school...in 5 or 6 years, most likely, my children will need to be more with "other" people and less with us...at that moment, I will consider whether to retire from the working world and start enjoying the life I have left as best I can, which I hope will be long (LoL ).

Meanwhile, I continue with the plan...

In the middle of the morning, I'm still thinking and tweaking the plan mentally while walking with the dog...I think I have everything under control but there's always something that can be done better...It's like being constantly undergoing renovations.

Have a good Sunday.
