Hey there, awesome human! And welcome to The Wise Living!
I’m Lianne, and seriously, I’m doing a happy dance that you’re here. If I could, I’d totally high-five you right now! 🙌 (Don’t worry, I’m not that creepy, just super excited to connect!)
Let Me Guess… Is This You? 🤔
You don’t know me yet, but since you’re reading this page, I feel like I already know you.
Let me see if I’m right:
- You’re sick of the usual script: “Study hard. Work hard. Pay the bills hard! Buy a house! Get married. Have children. Stay at your job for 40 years. Collect your pension when you’re old. And then you can enjoy life for 10-20 years. Bye-bye.” Ugh. 🙄
- You believe that success is something YOU define: It’s whatever you think it is — traveling while working ✈️, settling down in your dream home 🏡, owning a thriving business 📈, eating amazing food with loved ones 🍜, or simply doing what you like when you like it. Yep, that’s success.
- You’re working in a job you don’t really like, just to pay for things you bought, probably to impress people who don’t really matter to you anyway.
- You want to stop living your life according to everyone else’s opinion: your parents, friends, partner, relatives, boss, or even your “concerned” kapitbahay. You’re ready to start living life on your own terms. 💪
- You want to be better with your finances 💰 so you can do more of the things you absolutely love. Plus, there’s gotta be a way to do what you love and get paid for it, right?
If any of this sounds like you, then my friend, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to The Wise Living!
It’s seriously good to have you here. ✨
And relax, I don’t know all this because I’m watching you right now. (Promise! 😉) I know all of this because, well, I’ve been in your shoes before, too. 🙂
The Wise Living is more than just a blog; it’s a progressive movement, an advocacy to help people like you and me stop existing based on other people’s opinions, and start truly living the life we love.
This movement allows you to live a life of freedom – which is why you can find us on social media by searching for @livefreewithlianne. 💖
So, Who’s This Lianne Anyway? 🤔
The Wise Living Origin Story ✨
I’m Lianne, and trust me, I’m just as excited about your journey as you are.
I kicked off The Wise Living when I was a fresh-faced 19-year-old, dreaming of helping other 20-somethings (like I was!) get financial freedom, a super productive lifestyle, and just an overwhelmingly happy life. 🤩
Best-Selling Author of 2 Books! 📚🖋️
Yep, you read that right!
I’m proud to be a best-selling author of TWO books designed to make your journey to financial savvy and wise living a whole lot easier (and fun!).
My first book, “OMG! Where Did Your Sweldo Go?“, is your go-to guide for making money talk way less scary and a lot more fun.
WhenInManila.com’s review called it a book of “secret sweldo tips to be a millionaire” – pretty cool, right? 🤫
Then there’s “Adulting Accomplice: 99 Adulting Tips You Wish You Knew in Your 20s.” This one is truly your partner in navigating the often-baffling world of being a grown-up.
WhenInManila.com praised it as a collection of “life-changing adulting tips” – it’s like having a wise older sister cheering you on through all the tricky bits of your twenties! 👯♀️
