To “live free” through simplicity implies many things including financial freedom. It doesn’t come without discipline, but it’s worthwhile. This is accomplished through use of certain vocabulary.
“No” – we’re hard wired to think when there’s buy 1 get 1 free, we’re getting a deal when actually, you’re still spending money
“Not now” – legitimate needs aren’t always immediate needs
“I don’t need it” – some things we just plain don’t need. I suggest trying the 30-day challenge
A person asked me how I’ve made so much money in such a little time. “Easy”, I said, “I don’t spend any of it.”
