Quotes to ponder:

"Living below your means is about saving some of your money so you can afford things in the future or in case of an emergency."

"If it feels like deprivation, I’d argue that you’re doing it wrong. Because even if you do reach your financial goals, what’s the point if you’re completely miserable?"

"Money is a tool we can use to build a life of meaning. Financial freedom needs to be way more interesting than consumerism."
