Stop deferring
In the western world we are encouraged to get on the career ladder and climb. The same is true with the housing ladder; keep moving up, never stop. Soon enough it’s time to have children, to settle down and buy a “forever home” to await your grandchildren. And that’s it: life is over, you get old and die.

I’ve come to realise that my days are no longer typical. There is no more 9-5, no more days off, no more living for the weekend. It is all, day by day; this moment and then the next.
