Posted on September 17, 2013

I dare you to watch this and to not cry 10 seconds in.

I am totally blaming these waterworks on the baby by the way.

Thanks to AF for the link.

Sherry of Save. Spend. Splurge.

Am my own Sugar Daddy. Am a millionaire at 36 after getting out of $60K of student debt in 18 months, a little over a decade earlier, using TheBudgetingTool.com. I have worked 50% of my career (taking 1-2 year breaks), and quadrupled my income within 2 years of graduating, going from $65K to $260K with an average lifetime savings rate of 50%. I have 11 side incomes that are on track in 2020 to make me $50K - $75K. I could retire today if I wanted, but love my work-life balance as a freelancing consultant in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). I am all about balance - between time and money, and also enjoying my money. I also post daily on Instagram @saverspender.

    I heard about this on the radio on the way to work today, interestingly! I haven’t watched the video but listening the guy talk about it already brought tears to my eyes. We definitely need more kindness to go around in the world!

    I’ve actually heard a similar story! But it was food and a glass of milk instead of painkillers and veggie soup. But yeah… excellent commercial

    I saw this on Facebook yesterday, and I found it so beautiful! I wish I had pregnancy hormones to blame the teariness on.
