It's not about how much money you bring in, it's about how much money is being paid out. For most people, more money is paid out than what's brought in.

And therein lies the rub. The best way I've found is not to worry about the damn Jones. Let them keep up with me. It's a fundamental attitude shift, for most folks. But it comes quite naturally to me. Must be my outlaw past...

I drive old cars, live in a cheap place, and do my own thing. And my family and I are happy and reasonably content. I've got friends that have to have nice cars and fancy stuff, and they're miserable, even though they make plenty of money. It's all a metter of priorities.

I don't think that thjis statement is true.Most people do not spend more than they bring in. If that is the case something is really wrong with either your income or what you are doing with your money.
Do not assume that everyuone is in the same boat as you

well, regardless of why or how people got into debt, we are all here to fix these problems
this post has gone way off course, i think but honestly it is nice to see someone had an emergency cash plan that actually worked well for them. i only succeeded in this one time and it was kind of a fluke (i painted rooms in homes for extra money). anyone with any other ideas how to make extra money is always welcome.

WULF.........I didn't look at your most recent post until now. "..let them keep up with me." I really like that comment..because it's SOOOO true!! The 'mentality' of people is what keeps them going, I think. Wonderful 'outlook' you have on life!!

Life really is what you make of it, SD. I don't particularly care what the Jones' have or want. I know what I want. That's enough.

'Straight and to the point'...good saying, WULF. I know a few people who seem to have 'everything they want (material wise) and are the most unhappy people I know. That's about ALL they have, too.........are material things.
