It's like the millionaire next door.
Was going through my old notes I wrote and found this one from @naval. I feel like sharing it here.
“People who live far below their means enjoy a freedom that people busy upgrading their lifestyle can’t fathom”

One can enjoy freedom even without being a millionaire. But if he keeps at it for long enough, might end up becoming one.
-
100% I was just mentioning that living well within your means is a great way to accumulate wealth and peace of mind as long as you believe it that lifestyle. There is a difference between delayed gratification and being content with what you have.

Is that a millionaire VC talking about the freedom of living poor? The irony
-
Ever wondered how he got there?
-
For one, you can afford to stop working for a while, if you want to. Maybe for a number months. Maybe for a number of years.
-
Also, you are in a better position to take risks if you live below your means. For example, you can decide not to work for a number of months or for a number of years (living off your savings), while you try to create a company.

Always had this rule in my head since I read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" in 2009 but never put words to it. Nothing beats the feeling of abundance & peace with a minimal yet comfortable lifestyle. I've first hand witnessed people go broke trying to show off & impress, left a scar on me
