During premarital counseling, we were taught to live off one income. Because we did that, it allowed us some flexibility when an emergency came up or when I started a business, or even after having kids. We had money to do things we enjoyed other than just paying bills.
A friend once suggested I should drive a different car because of my status. That didn’t make sense to me. Why would I drive a car for status? There’s nothing wrong with it if that’s what you want, but I love my car. My goal was to be the millionaire next door. I live a simple life by choice.
I have the choice because of my choices. Living below my means gives me options. Think about it: what can you do differently now while you have the flexibility to do so?
It’s called freedom!
