is self control enough in this economy?
in order to save money, is it enough to just prevent oneself from buying things unnecessary or limit ourselves to only what is needed to survive? is this a way to live? is there no other easy way aside from earning so much?
sometimes i feel like even with utmost self control you still don’t end up getting rich due to expensive prices and lack of salary in general
If I tell you the context of my country, I cannot be limited in terms of spending money. When life becomes difficult due to inflation the desperate attempt to find alternative sources of income makes you more busy. In reality the attempt to be self controlled increases more the family expenses. You promise from the first day of the week that you will spend money in a limited manner, but in reality they cross the limit most of the time.
For financial freedom you have to increase your sources of income. Family is an integral part of our life we have to behave responsibly towards them and continue accumulating for the future otherwise negative times are waiting for you in old age. So do not just prioritize the present continue accumulating for the future.
