If you value your time and know what it's worth, it changes how you make tradeoffs. Understanding the emotional aspect of affording something is important. Some people can afford things even with less money, while others can't with more. It's crucial to have a concrete way to value your time. Saving money became a priority for me due to a scarcity mindset, but I still wanted to enjoy life. So, I learned how to optimize and travel for free. Eventually, I found things I loved doing, which made it easier to spend money. Having a passion for what you do makes a difference. Some people believe they can always make money, and that mindset can change everything.
