They'd been in the pool all day. Warm water. Happy kids.
I said I needed a drink.
I had other plans.
The pool water had been warming up in the sun all day.
The hose pipe hadn't.
The screams were worth every second. 😂
Wouldn't change it for the world. ☀️

Bank holiday weekend. Sun's out.
Someone's got to pump up the paddling pool.
That someone is me. Obviously. 😅

5am alarm. Workout done by 5:50
House is quiet.Everyone still asleep.
This is the only hour that's entirely mine.
This isn't a flex. This isn't hustle culture. It's just, if I want something different for my family, I have to do something different.
So 5am it is.Every single day.

My worst investment this week wasn't a bad financial decision.

It was buying a whistling sweet for a 5 year old.

First — "I can't whistle it anymore."
Then her sister Maci asked for a turn.
Suddenly — "no WE can't whistle it anymore."

The audacity. 😂

Filmed this and nearly didn't post it.
Wasn't sure if I was ready for another round of comments.
Then thought,fuck it.This is the whole point.
First post got 267k views.Incredible support.Brutal comments.People who misread it.
Let me set the record straight.
I ain't going nowhere

Real step toward Financial Freedom.
Switched my credit card to 0% balance transfer. Zero fees. Direct debit set up.14 months to clear it.
Not a finance guru, just a working class dad using common sense
Debt that isnt moving is just quietly stealing your future

That stops now.

A Saturday with just me and my girls.
Stabiliser fell off the bike No meltdown.Played badminton instead.
Helped make lunch & dinner. Played teachers after moaning about school all week.
Ended the day eating sweets watching BGT.
One of those days that reminds you what it's all for

Nobody tells you about the gym bag moments.
20 minute school run. Halfway there, gym bag still at home.
No panic. I'll sort it.
Drove back.Picked it up.Taking it to work.
Not the big dramatic moments. Just the "I'll handle it" ones.
This is what showing up actually looks like

[Michael Nelson @michael8nelson]

£500,000 a year isn't a car or a watch.
It's my daughter not missing the school trip. My fiancée never worrying about money. Saying yes to my kids every time.
I'm 38. Dad of 5. Starting to close the gap.
I'm going. 🙏
