Financial Order of Operations Flow Chart

in response to Hannah

I’m 33 and feeling the urge to quit my job, maybe start a creative biz… (Context: I’m planning to hike the PCT for about 2 months next spring.) Looking for any advice on how to navigate this transitional time, changing how I make money, figuring out what I’ll do when I’m back from trail, what I should do in the meantime to plan, etc.

I'm a pretty snarky CPA during the day so I scoff at most planning tools and recommendations, but this chart does hit the nail on the head. Won rec of the week a while back.

Start with essentials, build your emergency funds, and pay down debt. As far as business bookkeeping, it depends on your business volume. One sale a month? Use a spreadsheet. 100 a month? Probably want to consider a software. But go hike the trail before worrying about that boring stuff.
