Hi,
I found out I have "problems with money".. let me explain.
8-10 years ago when I was earning money which let me just live ( pay rent, food etc. ) I had no issues at all with spending all pay check during month.
It was normal, I was not depressed that: "arghh this month I can safe only 2%".
When I started earning more I started having those problems..
It is starting to killing me.. I dont even now think in terms of percentage of monthly earnings, but in numbers.
100 euro 10 years ago was completely different number than today in my monthly budget.
Without my wife, probably ( 99% ) I would live like a poor man. Having trouble with spending money at all..
Because of this poor man mindset I think very often in very bad way for example there is situation we could move to bigger house, of course rent would cost more.
First thoughts are: what ?! we will need to pay more..
Except, wow would be nice to live there, quite place, with pool, without loudly neighbours etc etc, ok maybe we cant afford it now, but what we can do to earn more ?
I realized this yesterday, that I should switch my thinking.
We earn this money for living right ? We dont live to earn, it is stupid, it is slavery. Maybe you have more money but you are still slave..
It remembers me one friend, who is over 60, old business man, whole live spared all his money, to buy land, to buy property etc.
Still living like a poor man, in some old clothes etc.
OMG I need to change this thinking.
