  1. @LastThursday Yes, I've been actually considering the weekly self cash allowance method. Very practical way to save for sure. It would fall into the budgeting category. Love that idea, thanks for reminding!

    I don't use streaming services and my only reccuring expenses are just purely necessities, like water, electric, car ins. I don't own a TV or buy cable. I do go to a gym regularly and get a lot of use for my membership - the equipment, classes, sauna, showers (saves on water bill at home too). The $23/mo is well worth it imo.

    I'm shopping around for a less expensive car insurance, if anyone has suggestions?


  2. @Vibroverse To me money is energy/mindset. You can have a lot of it and still feel like it's never enough, or you can have little and feel grateful and content.  

    My son is going off to a tech school, so it's just going to be me, so I want to focus on saving up. I do have a full time job with good pay. I've been exploring minimalism in different areas of life - shelter, food, clothing, digital, etc.


  3. @Loving Radiance Learn to put yourself in the shoes of others. Empathy is the main thing that narcissism lacks. And I'm not talking about cold/conceptual empathy, but being able to identify with the emotion of another, feeling their pain. And another big one is becoming conscious of your feeling of entitlement and grandiosity - realize no one ever owes you anything and you're not the best thing since sliced bread ;)
