This is really living!
More days in the month than money left in your bank account with the added bonus that there are still more bills to pay. What fun! What bliss!!
Give up thoughts of going out to dinner or catching that movie. Forget about replacing your old phone or appliance because you can’t afford to do that right now. Maybe in 6 months? We’ll see.
Doesn’t it feel great? Don’t you feel your soul and dreams expanding?
What? “Shrinking, not expanding,” you say?
But isn’t this the way we are supposed to live? From pay check to pay check, living on credit, and “robbing Peter to pay Paul“?
Cutting back expenses until you are living leaner than lean … Honestly, that’s the only way to live!
Seriously, that’s the only way most of humanity has lived from generation to generation. Only a small fraction of the world population has enjoyed “the perks” while looking down on their fellow citizens with pity and not understanding why they choose to live so bare-to-the-bone or why they can’t work harder.
Those “unfortunate few” have options that everyone else can only hope for. It just doesn’t seem fair that their view of the lives of the downtrodden should be blocked by their piles of cash.
Ah, money: It so levels the playing field, doesn’t it?
It most certainly does not.
