A short list of things that make me just as happy in life:
- I’m just as happy… going for walks as I am to the movies
- Iβm just as happyβ¦ wearing used clothes as I am new clothes
- Iβm just as happyβ¦ eating pb&js as I am going to restaurants
- I’m just as happy… going to a friend’s house as I am a concert
- Iβm just as happyβ¦ drinking beer at home as I am at the bar
- I’m just as happy… having a staycation as I am a vacation
- I’m just as happy… working on passion projects as I am commercial projects
- Iβm just as happyβ¦ cutting my own hair as I am hitting the barber
- I’m just as happy… visiting the library as I am the coin shop
- I’m just as happy… spending money on someone else as I am on myself
All things I do throughout the year on both sides, but being aware of this equality has amplified both my finances and my confidence…
It’s empowering to know you’re just as happy not paying for stuff as you are paying for it! All the while retaining the same quality of life!
Something to keep in mind as you work through your own journeys over there…
What would your list look like?
