that wealthier people generally are wealthier based on spending habits, not earning habits.
I have lived that paycheck to paycheck before. I have carried $15k+ in credit card balances before.
I finally figured out how to be better on the spending side...and as I have made much more money, I have kept those spending habits.
Do I go out and splurge...yes..I have probably put $100k into my house in the last two years, and I take a number of long weekend trips each year as well.
I have 4-5 grocery stores within 5 miles of me. some weeks I may visit all of them if they have deals of something that I need or I can stock up on.
