How it begins
Happiness is always one more purchase away
We’re generally taught in school that happiness starts after your debt riddled four year degree and mediocre job. Our social networks often revolve around consuming things that don’t make us much happier or healthier. For most, retirement or life free of financial chains is an afterthought or something only older people need to worry about.
How it ends
It ends with you making a decision to change your mindset and ultimately your life
Reprogramming
You must first unlearn habits, behaviors, thinking, and routines that are not in alignment with your intentional life and financial freedom.
Finding Happiness
Happiness in the Askesis lifestyle can be abundant. While we promote sacrifice and discipline, the reality is the world is full of opportunities to smile that don’t cost anything.
Fight
Eliminate the distractions. Overcome the noise. Lose a few people. Embark on your new journey, living life intentionally focused on yourself and where you’re going. There’s no going back.
Most Will Quit
In a world of instant gratification the likely outcome is to be part of the 98% who would rather complain, blame, compare, stay stressed, and maintain their personal status quo than take action.
This isn’t a diet
This isn’t a program
This isn’t quick
This isn’t easy
This is life
Askesis isn’t radical thinking
Although we believe in financial discipline to a militant degree, we would argue that our way of thinking would lead to a life far happier, healthier, and fulfilling.
Stress
65% of Americans report that money is their number one source of stress.
Spending
The average person spends $314 per month on impulse purchases which could most likely all be categorized as discretionary. Invested, this represents $299,694 over 30 years.
Time
The average time spent per day on social media is 3 hours. That is 1,095 hours a year. Most full time jobs with a regular schedule and two weeks of vacation work about 2,000 hours a year.

Why it matters
For most, retirement is an afterthought. The fantasy of self-care through spending and the YOLO lifestyle eventually comes to an end. Many people believe they owe it to themselves to live life to the fullest while they are young, ultimately indirectly choosing to work forever and sacrifice quality of life later on. The Askesis difference: we focus on financial freedom, not retirement.

What’s with the name?
Askesis (ἀσκῆσις) is an ancient Greek word that means “discipline through training, self-denial, and practice.” Originally used by philosophers and early Stoics, askesis described the intentional act of hardening the mind and body through discomfort, not to punish, but to prepare. It was the opposite of indulgence: a way of life rooted in restraint, repetition, and control. At Askesis, we’ve reclaimed this forgotten wisdom. We believe wealth is built through subtraction before addition, and that true freedom doesn’t come from what you own, but from what you can live without.
