These are 15 lessons that popped into my head on a whim the other day:
- Earn like a princess but live like a pauper (love this quote from a reader!!!)
- Money isn’t everything — just because you have it, it doesn’t make you a better person or mean your life is awesome
- Without good health, wealth means nothing so don’t cheap out by saving on health or dental
- Don’t put all your eggs into one basket by putting all your money into one investment (buy house or rent/stocks)
- Plan for the future and emergencies, it comes sooner than you think
- Don’t rely on family for financial aid (as parents or as children), get financially fit in 1000 hours
- Prepare well for your own financial situation before helping others even in tithing situations
- Being financially independent can be a source of great satisfaction especially as a woman who can handle her own
- Don’t try and save money by cutting down on the quality of your food — cook from scratch & buy less processed things
- What you achieve in your lifetime may not necessarily be achievable for your kids
- The stuff you own is just the stuff you own and not who you are
- The people who look rich, are probably not because acting rich is not the same as feeling rich
- Life is too short to be in a job you hate for most of your life
- Delay purchases and avoid getting into debt as much as possible
- Retirement is not a right
