I read many blog posts each day. They mostly focus on personal finance, but also on minimalism and travel . I was distracted by a busy month, but I did save a few that I really liked in September.
Mike Piper at The Oblivious Investor offers a short but informative post on becoming a Multi-Millionaire the Boring Way. Hint: maxing out your retirement accounts goes a long way.
On the theme of keeping it simple (mostly), I wanted to earmark this post from Humble Dollar. In Laying Down a Floor, Laura Kelly writes about the way she and her husband plan to reduce anxiety about the market in their retirement, while they wait to claim Social Security. (The answer: a TIPS bond ladder. I am not sure I want to do exactly that, but setting up a bond ladder is rising closer to the top of my to-do list.)
Of course, choosing a minimalist can lead to a less complicated life.
Budget Life List offers a clever way to introduce this in A Minimalist Moment: Compliments of a Flight Attendant.
At Rich in What Matters, Julie Ubbenga writes about her daughter, who has internalized lessons about minimalism and generosity, somewhat to her chagrin. She offers A Lesson in Letting Go.
One of the minimalism tenets I choose to focus on is having one good thing instead of several not-so-good options. Mel at BrokeGirlRich demonstrates the importance of quality over price (or, the truth of penny wise, pound foolish), in her travails with a &@$! bicycle.
Lastly, this is a sponsored post at The Woke Salaryman. Nevertheless, as a doctor, I appreciate “Sarah’s” decision to choose wisely when taking care of herself, as read in What I’m actually spending on for self-care this year.
