I was just nodding the moment I started reading this article until the very end @josediccus. Why did I just find out that such an awesome and inspiring Personal Finance guru is here on Hive? I must've missed a lot. But not gonna miss any future posts of yours.
You see when one's financial position changes it creates an illusion of lack of affordability when all they needed was discipline.
This and the other way around hit the core of managing one's personal finances. For me, it doesn't matter how big or small your income may be, if you don't have the skill, knowledge and discipline or should I say the combination of the three, you'll always find yourself in the bottom of the pit wondering want went wrong along the way. I'm in agreement with finding the middle ground. When I started working, I was paid less than half of what I'm earning now but it didn't stop me from managing my finances well. The same skill set was useful when I had more money to spend but mostly to save and invest.
This has been a refreshing read, not exaggerating anything! And my eyes are sparkling in excitement to read more. I'm also thinking of reviving my Financial Fridays which I started last year. You inspired me. 😊
@patsitivity, thanks a million. Your username sounds like positivity" hahaha. Well thanks for finding my content good enough. In reality, it's difficult to find balance. Life itself brings out the best and worst in people and this is why money isn't relevant, our financial discipline is what's relevant.
I can relate with when you started working. It was the same for me as well. Sometimes being paid poorly makes us creative with spending and this is why every financial situation we find ourselves is a lesson we mustn't ignore.
