The sooner people, as individuals and as nations, realize the benefit and wisdom of living beneath their means, the sooner the long-drawn-out slide and decline can be, if not reversed, at least delayed.

It’s wanting to live like kings that gets people into trouble, and even if you can pay for a thing, it doesn’t mean you can afford it.

The Roi has always insisted we live below our means. I will admit there have been times when it’s grated at me - but right now, I’m perfectly happy I was able to retire at age 54, and we are financially secure and will be able to send the kid to college without her having to take out student loans. Can’t ask for much better than that.
