This article is full of words, but he doesn't really get to the point.
What I got out of it: stop dealing with your money passively and take control; reduce your expenses; act like you're super poor; and never stop thinking of ways to save. Note: I am a starving college student, so maybe it's just me.
- anigbrowl 17y agoI have spent a long time in that position and entirely get where you're coming from. Having recently experienced a change in circumstances, though, I have to side with the author - my previous frugal mindset has left me unprepared to manage larger resources. If you'd asked me 3 months ago what I'd do with a windfall, I'd have said something like 'enjoy 10%, share 10%, use 30% for a project, put the other 50% in some savings vehicle, then get back to work'. In actuality I've got option paralysis because the consequences of such decisions loom larger than I'm used to.
