A better strategy than cutting back is earning more. Why deprive yourself when you don't have to?

I used to live paycheck to paycheck and I attended a money management seminar. I focused on earning more and managing money and now I have more than enough money.

Yet here you are on a video game message board. Don't you have a yacht to captain around the world or something?

A yatch would be a bad investment for me right now, I've explained in a previous topic that got locked because the mods are jealous or something that I have holdings over 20 million now. I'm projecting in 5-7 years I can grow this to over 100 million, I'm getting myself a jet as a reward.

I wouldn't say no to loaning anyone money here, provided they could prove it was a good investment for me.

Precisely. With patience and self control you will be able to afford things in the future.

So they're supposed to just give up on everyday things that make life a little less miserable for them? What would be the point of living without the little pleasant stuff?

>hdtvs

Do they even make CRTs anymore?

Also on the shoes thing. I hate buying name brand but I tried the bargain route and they always fall apart on me in like, two or three months. Meanwhile Ive been using the same pair of Vans for well over a year now. >~>

remember: if you give up everything that makes you happy for a whole year, you can have a savings account with $400 in it

Some of these like the phone, the shoes, and the TV are things that last a long time like over a year or so. It's fine to spend lot more money on stuff like that. Generally that's with the tax refund check and not part of the pay check.

Now yeah internet, mutiple streaming services, lots of fast food those are things you should stop or tone down if you live pay check to pay check.

A lot of this is our society actually doesn't want us to save money while looking down on people who don't. Every day, every second advertisements for food, for movies, for things we don't need and feed to us. It is hard if not impossible to avoid it. Some people have less control then others and our society is structured to manipulate those people with less self control.

You don't have to feel synthetic for them. You also don't have too look down on tbem.
