Tim Hume never thought ‘financial freedom’ could be so constrictive and so glum.
The 25-year-old Finance Analyst in the CBD has been an avid subscriber to the advice offered by Scott Pape’s ‘The Barefoot Investor’ for some time now.
He claims that The Investor has improved his bank balance, and his outlook on life. Driving him to be the best version of himself in his pursuit to become financially successful.
However, as much as it has given him purpose, there have been times where the mantra has left him questioning whether it was all worth it.
Today, was one of those times, as he slumped at his desk, toying at some leftover chicken and vegetables while his colleagues joyously enjoyed their meal and everything associated with it.
Hume told our reporters that he began to struggle when everyone started bubbling about what they were doing for lunch today.
“After they decided what they were having they all left in a buzz. Leaving me sitting at my desk, quiet, alone and feeling sorry for myself,” Hume said.
“Then they all came back with $10 lunches from ‘Thai Me Up’ down the road and sat at the meeting table and ate it, while I tried my hardest not to look over longingly,” the man said, further admitting that he wished he had left his packed lunch in the fridge for another day.
“Fuck me. That place does such a good Pad See Ew too.”
“I’ll have to try and pull someone up this arvo about spending all their money on food and piss to make myself feel better.”
