    Is it over for me ? People who once lost it all - how did you cope?

    It sounds like you are going through a rough time mate. Just know that you are not alone and you will get through it! One thing that's really helped me with mental peace is mindfulness and meditation. My best book recommendation here is Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    We live in one of the most expensive places in the UK in terms of housing (2 bedroom, 1 bathroom houses averaging £600k+), and may stay here for 5+ more years because of my wife's career.

    Greetings from an islander

    INTRO 
    Hi SEGA My background was actually non-technical - I did a philosophy degree (quite a useless degree, which I do not recommend)! I started working for a law firm but hated it.

    How I got hired as a software engineer without a college degree

    GOLD! MINDSET

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished this one. I like how it expands on the themes of MFL, especially with regards to certain mental biases.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read it on Kindle, hard copy on its way. Awesome book. The difference between MJ's books and the majority of other financial / business books are night and day.
