Your honesty is refreshing and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates it. I have really enjoyed your blog posts and they have made me reflect on my own situation. Sometimes repetitive subjects are a good thing too, as messages don’t always resonate with me the first time I read something.
Even though I don’t blog about it, I’m interested in FI too and often struggle to make optimal choices and resist the pull of consumerism. We are only human, after all.
Don’t be hard on yourself though- Even though you aren’t as frugal as you’d like to be, at least you’re investing regularly and working on your debts. That’s a lot more than so many people are doing.
