The moment you realise money does not bring happiness, your life changes instantly and improvements are felt on an almost daily occurrence. Over the past 3 months, I’ve began to break the “money = happiness” connection and my life is becoming more fulfilled.

It’s a tough realisation as it goes against all marketing messages and strategies we’re bombarded with on a daily basis. It also puts into question self-image, which for some uncovers greater value and understanding of one’s self.

Thankfully though there are so many good people out there spreading this message. Podcasts and blogs such as The Minimalists, Cait Flanders, The Slow Home Podcast and Jennifer Taylor Chan are inspirational helping us along this journey.
