Yet people with a scarcity mindset spend a lot more time nitpicking their expenses and taxes than they invest in boosting their income. Not a good trade off... not by a long shot.
Bullshit. Acquiring more money by requiring less is infinitely easier than convincing people to pay you more, be it an employer or a customer. There's a ceiling to this, as everyone needs a roof over their heads, food to eat, and something interesting to do in their spare time, but this statement is bogus.

Obviously you could just not buy stuff, but I'm (and probably him too) talking about things like going to a farther store that has cheaper prices. You need to balance how long it takes you to get there, vs how much you will reduce your expenses.
