School Holidays the TMAP Way - Teach Me About Property

Let’s talk about school holidays, but not just any school holidays—the TMAP way. This is where the Wealth Game shows its colours.

🕒 Time is Your First Asset

When you’re grinding in the Poverty or Comfort Game, holidays often mean scraping together leftover time or trying to make things work on the cheap. But when you’re playing the Wealth Game, your assets cover your lifestyle.

That’s why the first rule of TMAP holidays is lock it in at the start of the year.

1. Employees: Aim for a minimum of 4 weeks a year, and schedule them during school holidays.
2. Business owners / Wealth Game players: Go for at least 6 weeks, lined up with school breaks.

The point? Family time is non-negotiable. Put it on the calendar before anything else.

✈️ Travel with Intention

Wealth Game families know how to make holidays count. That doesn’t always mean long trips—it means quality over quantity.

1. During the year: Shorter, bougie breaks. A two- or three-night getaway in a beautiful spot where memories are created and recharged.
2. Christmas period: Go big. Take the full stretch, travel, explore, and reset with loved ones.

Because when your assets are paying, you don’t need to ask if you can, only where to next.

🧠 Memory Over Money

Here’s the heart of it: Your kids won’t remember the bills. They’ll remember the moments.

1. Wealth Game → Choose your destinations, who you travel with, and create epic memories.
2. Comfort/Poverty Game → Even if travel isn’t possible, focus on local experiences. Parks, beaches, hikes, community events. It doesn’t have to cost a lot to be memorable.

The goal is the same in every game: memories that last a lifetime.

🔑 TMAP Takeaway

Holidaying the TMAP way isn’t about Instagram flexes (though hey, those bougie weekends will light it up). It’s about structuring your year so that:

1. You have time with your family.
2. Your assets are paying for the lifestyle.
3. You’re building a wealth game rhythm where sacrifice earlier unlocks freedom later.

I wasn’t always good at this. For years it was all work, no play. But now? Every school holiday is an opportunity to celebrate balance, build family memories, and enjoy the lifestyle that playing the Wealth Game provides.

So lock it in, book the time, and make school holidays the TMAP way.

See you at the top of the mountain.
