The author is right. I like being of limited means, it simplifies life. I have had other kinds of means, but I was never this content. This secure. It might be other factors as well, but the feeling is rather lovely. Aging isn't all bad, some days, when it means getting a bit wiser.
I dont enjoy being broke, but I also know that Im usually broke after getting everything I need.
Im doing well . I had $2-65 after groceries on Thursday. I spent $1-21 today for Ham and a Banana so I can get the same on Wednesday.
Im not starving, I might not be eating enough meat at the mo, but Ill never starve.
I would like a bit more life tho. Or to be able to buy something I want rather than need. And not have to juggle money so well.
but I get there.
