Cutting out the silly expenses.
The less you spend, the more you have.
I was a college dropout who went went around the system every chance that i got and worked my way to where i am now.
I don't care about money but i do love value and investments.
Some people love buying stuff and the DPD driver knows exactly where their house is.
I have the opposite view to spending. I'm never tight with money where it counts. I pay my way, have a good car under me and will always spend when we go for a night out or a holiday. I Make sure to buy nice gifts and pass a little bit on to those who are struggling.
The important things in life. IMO
But it's so easy to burn through your money and for the wrong reasons.
If your not happy with what you have then you will never be made happy by more objects.
It's only going to give a short little buzz before you realize how miserable you are all over again.
I know what makes me happy and it's not having five cars parked outside.
It's having financial independence.
It's being able to work my own hours.
It's being able to to stay at home with my family when i want to.
It's not having to worry about bills coming in the door or being able to pay for an expense.
Being able to go for drinks with my friends.
That is where my value lies in having money.
So I cut out the silly stuff.
IT's not hard but it has made my life so much simpler.
Finding cheaper options for the bills.
Enjoying nights in instead of nights out.
Buying from second hand options.
Only buying when i need to replace something instead of when i see something.
Buying smart by shopping around.
Ignoring what others are doing.
I try to be happy with what I have and happy in my own skin.
I think that a lot of people get caught up in social media and follow the crowd in life which will keep you in fashion but when the crowd are idiots then your lifestyle is based on idiots.
It's not easy for the next generation who are fed on the insta life and tiktok swag.
It's what they see every day and that will make it even harder to break out form the crowd.
I was lucky enough to grow up when the world was a lot smaller and there was a lot less pressure to fit into a lifestyle.
Then with age came realization of what was really important to me and where my money would be much wiser spent.

We’re very similar, I’m also a college dropout trying to make my own way around the system. Not spending money on silly things does give me a big leg up on my way to financial freedom, the only wasteful spending I need to stop is smoking. Other than that I’m very disciplined

There are lots of ways to get to the end goal.

I thinks that's a good attitude to have.
It might be tough now but by taking the right steps you will make it a bit easier.
Even when life gets a bit easier in the future it is a good habit to have going forward.

Everybody is different and everybody has a different path.
You won't find yours by copying other people.

Ive been doing the same except Im now wanting to buy splinterlands cards for the first time ever. I can't believe that's happening to me. Also, Dr said I needed to eat healthy for my heart so I completely changed my diet. My grocery bill went almost 6x!

See for me that's an investment not a waste.
It can be more expensive to buy good food but i lso think that it can be cheaper compared to ready meals or takeaways if done right. I enjoy cooking and we can do a good variety of foods for cheap.

I am also happy with what I have and I like that the internet gives you so many options to replace going out in person. I am glad that I learned about financial stuff not long into college and from then, I have been cutting down expenses.
