Default Re: The Falsehood of "Living Within Your Means"

I would say we live beyound our means, but we have some things like

cars(bought with cash),
nice clothes (for going out of the house only, inside we wear even those that have holls in them),
nice house (kinda small, but with tons of upgrades)
have no debt (except for mortgage) and never had
eat good food (cook at home)

Some people make twice more than we do and don't have all that and have debt. How do they manage to get in there?

Living within my means is a very interesting concept because until I can live on the income I have it won't make any difference if Iget more money. The problem will be the same. All that happens is that my expectations rise and the cycle continues.

When I can live on less than I earn I have the potential to benefit from more income.
