Some years ago a survey was taken in America. There were two questions. The first was, "do you have sufficient income." The second was, "how much more money would it take for you to feel comfortable and secure?"
The aggregate of the answers to the second question was 20% more. Most Americans said that they would be happy if they had 20% more. Across the spectrum for those with a net worth of 20k and those with a net worth of 4 million- 20% more.
Crazy isn't it? We Americans can never have enough it seems.
I think that there are two ways to have more money.
1. Make more. Work more. Pick up a second job or a side gig.
2. Spend less. Don't buy that thing that you don't need. When tempted, lay down until the feeling goes away.
I needed a part for the mustang. I stopped at O'reillys. $91 for a fuel rail pressure sensor. I bought it on Amazon for $17.
Buy the buy one get one food at the grocery store. Use coupons.
Pay attention to where the money is going and work harder to manage the money that does come your way.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
