Why Living Below Your Means Is SO Important

[slamblam]

It’s tough but the best way to get ahead is to not increase your lifestyle while building wealth. So many people just want to keep up with the Joneses.

wc fields said it best

" happy life is making $20 a year and spending $19 ...an unhappy life is spending $21"

A lot people in this chat don't realize how few people make $100k per month.

[harryfaku]

Yep, that's the mindset to success.

Most Americans would love to live off $2200 a month and be able to save. You call that poverty?

[mikerussell]

the median pay in America enters the chat.

What world is $2200 crappy? California?

[jaamall]

2200 aint poverty, thats middle class. Cut that in half, and thats poverty. Now live off of that.

I make 1500 take home after taxes and live in a trailer. I dunno what this dude is talking about 2200 is firmly within the middle class. Ill stretch and say lower middle class. Thats not poverty. 1200 a month is poverty.

Quick math here. $18k/yr - $2.2K/month = -$8400. Maybe his wife was also working? 🤷🏽‍♂️
