Trent from The Simple Dollar has written a post called Robinson Crusoe and Our Journey which I had to share with you. This post inspired me to re-read Daniel Defoe’s classic book Robinson Crusoe – so right off the bat, thanks Trent, for the reminder of this not-so-childhood classic.
Trent says the book struck a chord because of his recent journey which appeared to have been about money, but was so much more, in his words, “rethinking what’s actually important to me.” So often this journey is the springboard to discovering what one's relationship with money really is. As a holistic financial planner, I constantly question clients on what it is they absolutely need, what their values are, and as Trent mentions, what is actually important to them.
