Times are unbelievably different as to five years ago. I am not even talking about ten or fifteen years just five years ago. Can you remember when gas was 1.50 a gallon or for some of us, when regular gas was at .99. it is amazing at how times have changed. I remember when a two story house was occupied by wealthy people, now I am in one. When you went to the store and had a full basket of groceries, you spent $100.00, now it is close to two hundred dollars.
That being said, we have also increased in standard of living. Most of us make more and have spent more. If it stopped at spending then I would not be writing this blog, reality is it is the monthly obligations that have writing this today. When we look at our debt now compared to five years ago it is outrageous. It would be easy for me to blame it on the cost of living, when reality is, my living is too high.
Here are a few suggestions,
Simplify your lifestyle. You really have just about what you want, so you do not have to just buy.
Clarify your lifestyle. Know the difference between a need and a want.
Ratify your lifestyle. Rent movies, cook your own food, go fishing with your family and cook what you catch. HOME WITH FAMILY is the way.
This is not a fix all to end all but it is a switch up to help with your mix up. If you are doing the same thing you will get the same result. So let me ask yall a question, is your living higher than the cost of living?
Halla at Rev!
