I’ve spoken to many people who say “C’mon man, you could die tomorrow. You could get hit by a bus, and then what was your frugal life for?”
I counter them by asking what if they don’t die. It would be a very difficult life, to run out of money before you’re done living. And yet this is reality for the majority. Most people expect that once they’re unable to work, their standard of living is going to take a huge hit. They worked for forty or fifty years and they’re still unable to get away from work at the end of it.
Is this you? Are you one of the young ones, using the end of the world as an excuse for irresponsibility? Cause you should know – no one’s going to bail you out in the end.
Are you one of the older ones, still hoping that everything just sort of…works out…? Hope isn’t a great strategy.
I recommend that everyone begins learning how to make some non-wage income today.
