Living below your means is hard
I have always thought that I am smart enough to not spend money on stupid things.
Because I know it’s wrong.
And I think that most of you also think like this.
But now that I have the money I find it hard to not spend it.
And that’s how I ended up with the iPhone 13 Pro and a BMW 1.
I try to rationalise it in the most pointless ways.
“the phone will help me work more efficiently”
“The car just holds its value so it’s diversification” and things like that which is of course not true.
I could do the same things with a budget phone and a 20 year old car.
Of course I don’t get my bank account to 0, but still this money could be invested and not wasted.
I think it’s mostly because I’m still just a teen and deeply I just want to be admired and be important.
It’s constant battle in mind between rational decisions and primitive needs.
But I think that the first one is finally winning it.
Just my thoughts that I feel I need to share
