One of the reasons I always have more money as someone who is unemployed and makes money through steemit opposed to my friends who have full time jobs is exactly this article, frugality is a lost art in the current age of consumerism, that being said the small money I do earn I end up investing as well.
I feel like the days of self control and waiting are well and truly over.
It's not how much you make, rather how much of it you keep.
I have more money than my boss every month.
Always good to save the money man, cutting yourself off from instant gratifcation pays off so much better later on in life.
That it does!
Make more money without learning how to control instant gratification and all that money will be spent.
Control yourself and whatever you are earning right now will stick with you.
