In my opinion, everyone should understand that only by refusing to buy useless things today can we achieve something greater in the future through investment. But we must not forget that each of us only lives once, and time is the most valuable thing we have. Therefore, sometimes we need to treat ourselves and our families, even if it is with things that are of little use or with leisure activities. I believe that in every area of our lives, we need to find a happy medium. Otherwise, we may end up spending our entire lives saving money and trying to build a fortune for our children and grandchildren, only to live a boring life in the end.

This should be wrong in most cases. People are not poor or fail to invest because they buy themselves Prada, stop thinking about people like they are normally rich but spoiled. I live a life of normal standards. I work in two business, one my job, one helping my wife in her business, and the money I make, is barely enough to survive.

I do not eat from outside, I do not drink outside, I do not even drink coffee, not like "make your coffee at home", I literally do not even drink it, I do not buy clothes, all I bought in all of 2025 is a new jean because old one ripped, I do not go to vacation, I am spending all summer working, no ta single day of going to beach or any hotel or even like a pool nearby, no vacation, I do not eat expensive food.

My only unneeded expense is 1 pack of smoking a day. And I can't pay my debt. So do not assume everyone spends too much and should save. Sometimes you need to realize, rich are way too rich, and that's why we are too poor.
