Have you figured out how to do that? To live below your means is to choose a lifestyle you can pay for with the money you have and still have some money left over. Living below your means in this high-pressure, credit-based, gotta-have-it-all-right-now society is not exactly easy. It takes skill and determination to go against the tide and buck a system that encourages spending all we have now plus what we hope we'll get in the future. It takes strength of character to protest against the message that insists that as long as you can get away with it, it's OK to have what you want now and pay for it later. Here's the secret for living below your means in just eight little words: Buy what you need; want what you have. That's it. Simple, profound and lifechanging once that truth worms its way into your mind and soul. So how can we truly embrace those eight words and live well in a culture where everywhere we turn we're tempted to live beyond our incomes?
