I'm Tired of Living the Poor Man's Lifesytle

LoL! i am too a poor guy. But what motivates me is eventhough rich gets some money, tghey wont matter but when a poor earns much he wil be noticed by all and i think that is the essence of being poor.

if'n it makes ya happy, then by all means. fer myself, i couldn't care less what others're wearin'/'r drivin' 'n the like. i live to make myself happy.

Take it from this old lady, you can carry frugality too far. However, we would probably drive your car if it is running. Ours are that old, we just keep them in good repair.

When we die, the only thing we take with us are things we have done. Not money, not anything else. So spend your money but give it a meaning. Just don't waste them.

If you haven't been spending a lot and saving it is probably time to start indulging a little. As they say, you can't take it with you

22! I'm guessing your car's innards are simpler to work on.

I hear ya.. I'm tired of looking/feeling/being poor too. For years we scraped the bottom of the barrel just to get by. Now we've got a bit extra and I'm working hard on paying past debts and saving bit by bit to ensure we never end up there again. We've been extremely frugal for the past few months trying to pay down our debts and save a bit... but something always goes wrong. We've had to replace both of our cars in the past month. We do now have nicer cars, but my goal is to have a much nicer house!

I live on a budget allyear around, but I save and save to have a wonderful vacation every year. It is my luxury and I need it.

It seems to me that there is a time for everything and it is time you began to enjoy yourself and even spoil yourself. A little extravagance once in a while would give your self image a much needed boost.

It is good to save money, but it is also nice to spend a little money for yourself when you feel depressed. As you correctly say, we do not know when our last day will be.

it's a catch 22, buy what you can afford and half the time it's cheap and breaks. So sometimes you have to buy something more expensive, if you want things to last. cars, eh, sometimes older ones are better. Clothing, well sometimes you can fix that, with sales, and with second hand, clothes that fit and have no holes or stains will always look better than expensive ill fitting things

Saving for a rainy day is ok if you aren't depriving yourself of living a fulfilling life. If you have money to spend then you should indulge occasionally but if you don't it isn't worth getting into debt for luxury items.

Give yourself a treat you deserve it for working for it. Sometimes we deserve the treat

Dear Morgan, I lost my job several months ago, and I do several inspection to earn little money only every month.

People living on welfare and living in style. That's news to me

Do things online to make money and save that money for things that you want.

It's a question of finding a balance between enjoying the moment and saving enough so that you can enjoy future years.

If you want to do something different or to have something different then go for it. When it comes to looking at other people things are seldom as they seem.

Our motto has been, "Everything in Moderation. It is good to build up credit by charging things, but just make sure you pay off the balance every month. You can always lease a car. Check it out.

A person needs balance between making sure there is enough for bills and in having some enjoyment from money earned. I like to think of what is really important to me. I might keep the 22 year old car because I want to ski and have money for things like that. So, I am frugal in order to have the things that are really important to me.
