I did not realize this at first, but if you have a money problem – you have a boring problem.
I mean, outside of needed sustenance, who cares?
Need examples?
- You want a better car
- Restaurants are too expensive
- You want a new purse
- Coworkers get paid more
- Friends take better vacations
- Your house is too small
- Retirement will never come
A discussion where the solutions are all:
A. Quit buying stuff you don’t need
B. Get a second job That’s boring. Don’t be boring.
B. Get a second job That’s boring. Don’t be boring.
…if you have a problem you can solve by throwing money at it, you don’t have a very interesting problem.
