I can relate to this. Sometimes it feels like we have all the opportunities when we happen to be in the right place at the right time and most of us are just trying to catch that break. But if we can break down this daily income, this really puts things in a better perspective. It's not even about the loss of an expensive lifestyle anymore but it's about comfort.
Having just enough can be very priceless. I just believe starting small but consistent stream of income can bridge the gap, even if it takes time you can still get there if you work hard.
