Hi, I’m Carl.

I’m starting this GoFundMe for one simple reason: I want to live my best life — fully, unapologetically, and without spending the majority of it working just to survive.

There’s no tragic backstory here. No medical emergency. No house fire. Just a human who believes life is too short to postpone joy until retirement.

If fully funded, this campaign will allow me to:

- Wake up without an alarm

- Travel slowly instead of rushing through annual leave

- Spend time with people I care about

- Support local businesses, artists, and causes along the way

- Say “yes” to life more often than “sorry, I can’t afford it”

I know this is unconventional. But every major change starts with someone asking a question others are afraid to ask:

What if life wasn’t about grinding until you’re too tired to enjoy it?

If this resonates with you — even a little — your contribution isn’t just helping me. It’s voting for a world where freedom, curiosity, and living well matter.

Will this change the world? Probably not.

Will it change my world? Absolutely.

If you’ve ever thought:

"If everyone chipped in a little, someone could actually be free”

…today that someone is me.
