I've decided that I'm going to pay for getting my tax declaration done next year. 2024 is going to be more complex than usual in terms of taxes for me. Yes, I want that time spent on something else, while maximizing my tax return.

I found this piece really interesting from the ladder climbing pov - agreed there are tradeoffs but there are also hacks. Also, the concept of buying back time and making the most of the time when you get some back in your day resonated👏 nodded along at the hiring cleaners example because it is often a debate in our house since we can “do it ourselves” but in the time saving terms, it’s a gamechanger.

Absolutely agree! This article hits the nail on the head. Money can bring happiness, but it's how you use that money to buy back precious time for things that truly make you happy that matters most. A daily latte, a leisurely drive, or quality vacations with loved ones can bring so much joy. It's a reminder to find that balance between work and life to maximize happiness. 🌟😊
