I am very open about my finances. I guess hoping to find advice or see where others are in their situations so I do not feel like it is just me.

I am currently reading the book "Green With Envy" by Shira Boss. So far a very interesting read. It is about the ultimate taboo in our society, which is money & finances. I have a feeling that many of those people who seem to be doing so well are in reality just barely making their payments. A little bit of continuous low-grade stress about money is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it is not keeping you up at night or affecting the health of your career or family life. I think that constant tension is what keeps frugal people from spending everything they make!
