Yes, yes, and yes...(another great read to me), thankyou as always, I too am required to spread kudos around, but you have in spirit nontheless.
Financial independence has, (and is) my goal, freedom to me, goes along in that context...I love days out, looking at property, (or buying property) and especially coffee and cake. In fact I am coffee-ing (Captain's Conscience) right now along with an apple thing, a slice with I think they said sour cream? (it doesn't taste sour ), 2.50 for slice, 3.20 for coffee. The coffee is divine, Ms K.
That all sounds very indulgent OO you will have to do a couple of laps around the back paddock to work that off.
