living within your means

Submitted by Cindy M on November 27, 2007 - 05:16.

Seems so much smarter to me to try consistently to live slightly below my means. It is so great not having a lot of debt, slowing down and living a simpler daily lifestyle, period. And it's good to reach a place where I could care less what friends or family have to say about my not wanting to be part of the big ugly rat race. I feel sorry for people who never even think about the subject. There are just so many things that can be enjoyed in one's daily life in this country for free or almost free for the individual willing to slow down a bit and think it all through.
