The way we were.

Once Upon a time there was such a thing called self control. People worked for less money , lived in smaller homes, paid their bills ( on time) and always had enough in their pocket to take a trip, go for dinner or buy a nice bottle of bubbly for a special occasion.
Fast forward to 2015. People make more money, live in huge homs, drive expensive cars and never have enough money to make it to their next big pay check at the end of 2 weeks.

We used to grow our food, we now pay 3.00 for a cucumber. We used to save money for our homes and cars, now we use credit.
It is a message that you hear almost daily. Pay down debt, no more interest, grow your savings.
Is it possible we are just making it too complicated?

Much like the world of fitness and weightloss, we are inundated with promises of the quick financial fix, and encouraged to buy " discount" or " on sale" frivolities. It is not far from teasing a food addict with a diet chocolate bar. It has a different make up but is still as bad for you in all different ways. What if we could adopt more simple ways on small scales that actually work in the real world?

In the world of consumerism, bank fees, interest rates, 5.00 cups of coffee and gas that must be made of gold. 100.00 hair cuts, 70.00 shoes , and do not forget the price of food.
I propose it can be different. I mean to learn how.

Hope you will ready along and comment along the way.

Thanks for the read
