Dear Harry and Meghan,
I have become aware that you are in pursuit of financial independence. Welcome to the club. Go ahead and grab a cup of tea and have a seat because today is your lucky day. Here at Financial Pilgrimage we help young families pay down debt and live financially free. So, let’s go over a few things since you’re new to this whole financial independence movement.Ex-Royal Family
First of all, let’s acknowledge the fact that getting cut off from your royal family is a tough situation. You’ve had that steady stream of income coming in for years and now nothing. I remember when my parents stopped giving me an allowance. I think I was 18-years-old, so a bit younger. Actually, no, I was 14 and my family made me go out and get a job as a baseball umpire (worst job ever). Have you ever had to officiate little kids’ sports? It sucks. Regardless, it wasn’t great when I had to go out and make my own spending money. Video games and candy were expensive back in the day.Royal Money
There are other ways that I can relate to your family’s situation. Like you, my family’s money came from royalty. My dad was a general manager at Burger King so I also grew up around the glitz and glamour of (paper) crowns, delicious food (Whoppers), and endless activities (playground). People will never fully understand those of us who are supported by the crown. Now that we’re on the same page, let’s get to it. After more than 15 years of supporting myself, I can share a few words of wisdom as you begin your pursuit of financial independence.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and the sarcasm that came with it!
I hope they survive… 🤣
$1,000,000/ year might be tough.
