For me my life balance came when I threw away my TV.
Without realising I was loosing up to about 10-14hours a week to the bloody thing, and I was never a high level 'user'.
Once you realise that there is zero value in the bloody things, and in actually fact assist to condition your mind to think the same as everyone else, you find an entire extra day every week. Imagine that.... an 8 day week.
I dont watch any TV now and dont miss it, I see the occasional movie and if I feel like being lazy, I grab a book or a magazine and read instead.
How have you created a life balance for yourself and/or your family while creating wealth?
I didn't. It was a bl00dy hard slog for the wife and I over 15 years whilst we built up our assets to the point where the job could be replaced.
Work / Life balance....I don't think so. When you've got a goal, and you can smell freedom.

Dazz,
Excellent post - thanks for sharing.
It takes a distinct lack of work/life balance to overtake those guys inhibiting your progress at every step.
Anyway, that's what we found.
Hmm, I found it a sad post. You can have your goals of retirement, without killing yourself for 15yrs, with little work life balance.
That's a race I'm prepared to loose to you Dazz, if you give up living in pursuit of your wealth accumulation.

Each to their own. In reading the post, I appreciated and admired Dazz's passion and singlemindedness. Pardon the cliche, but you cannot enjoy an omelette without first cracking a few eggs.
Nothing wrong with work/life balance, but as with anything else in life, there are sacrifices to be made to have it.
I agree Mark, we'll probably be absolutely no-where near where Dazz and Kathryn/Rob. But if that is the sort of sacrifice it takes, then I'm glad we won't be.
So let me get this right Dazz. Your attitude is stuff work life balance, waste 15yrs of your life killing yourself, so you can spend the rest more comfortably.
You may actually look back when you are older and realise what you missed, with the obsession of wealth accumulation.
Personally I think there is no point in creating wealth, if you don't enjoy it at the same time.
Hi all,
How have you created a life balance for yourself and/or your family while creating wealth?
I personally think travelling once/yr either overseas or interstate so that you have something to look forward to after working hard during the year!

Good paying jobs are very very hard to duplicate just from passive positive cash flow from property. Your typical "$ 30 pw in my pocket" type of house or unit just ain't never gonna cut it.
