Since I get so many requests about handling a low income I thought I'd share a fresh way I'm thinking about my money these days. I watch a lot of finance YouTube people like Ramit Sethi and others like him. They go over couples/singles finances and come up with a game plan to get out of debt or achieve other goals. It hit me one night that my "bills" are actually my luxuries. It's a fresh way of looking at an old topic.
I will give you few examples...walking into a hot room and pushing a button and cold air pours out of vents to cool me off. That is a luxury. Drawing a hot bath on a cold night. That is a luxury. My cell phone. Luxury. When I began looking at my bills in a new light, I suddenly felt very very rich. Literally everything in my life seems to be a luxury. Have you ever felt like this? Please do tell! xo
Love your attitude - such a fresh perspective! Gonna pass that on to my adult children.
