Wrong advice. First live the life before doing it. Going to move somewhere? Rent first. Going to live a life with a lower living standard? Start living on

Wrong advice. First live the life before doing it. Going to move somewhere? Rent first. Going to live a life with a lower living standard? Start living on a budget first. So when you are forced to do this, you and your family will be able to accept and adapt properly.
- tsetse 9y agoGood news on the living standard - I grew up in relative poverty, so that won't be as much of a problem. I still don't spend a lot these days...
- DubiousPusher 9y agoOh, I get you now. I grew up super poor and the thought of falling back into it keeps me up at night to this day. That's what's making this decision hard.
- kamaal 8y ago>>I grew up in relative poverty Not sure what you are trying to say here. Do you want to go back to those days?
- tsetse 8y agoI'm okay with that, yes.
- herbst 8y agoI agree with the buying/renting thing (I don't see a reason to buy except as investment anyway) However it is very easy to simply start from a lower standard and increase as you feel you need to than to start at the top and decrease to a lower standard gradually.
- shoulderfake 8y agoOverly cautious approach. The guy has a very nice cushion as it is. He doesn't need to live off a budget before switching to a startup. And obv he would rent something in a new place before straight up buying a place in a town he's not familiar with.
