I remember watching my dad when I was 7 years old put water in our shampoo bottles and shake them up to make it last longer. He also did this with ketchup bottles. We had a cordless touch tone phone but when you pressed the numbers and dialed then put the phone up to your ear you'd hear a rotary dialing and had to wait for it to finish before it called out. I asked my mom why it did this when we had a touch tone phone and she said 'dad found out it's $1 cheaper a month to not pay for tone'.
Having grown up this way I was programmed to believe that money is scarce. Money is hard to find. Hold on to your money like your life depends on it because you may not be able to find much of it over your lifetime. If you see a penny on the ground make sure to pick it up. Use the free coffee at work don't dare buy the espresso. Use a coat inside during the winter, don't keep the dial up on the heat to much.
Money is very hard to find and ever harder to make. This is one of the truths of the world and keep this philosophy with you and it will aid you through life.
Except that this philosophy is utter bullshit.
This is a picture taken above the city of Hong Kong.
Each one of those little windows is another apt. building. With another family living in it.
The population of Hong Kong is around 7 million.
In other words in the top picture, just looking at that picture if you made $5 off 1% of the population of one single city that you can see in one picture you'd have $350,000. If you increased that to 3% of the population you'd be a millionaire.
Just from the amount of people you can see living in one picture. Money is everywhere.
