The Magic of Living Below Your Means - MFI Series1, #65

Living below your means is more challenging than you may think. Not because of the way you live, but because of societal pressures. That's right; society wants you to continue to buy expensive items and toys. Why? Because that's what they are doing. When you commit to living below your means, lowering expenses, and saving money, you will stand out from the crowd. After a while, you will be so far from social norms that they just leave you alone.
And, to be honest, that is a good thing. Go your own way, and become rich.
