I’ve never been in a situation like the author, but I grew up in an incredibly frugal family and I’ve had moments where income was very tight.

Those were some of the most stressful times of my life. My mind was fixated on making money and escaping that situation.

Now that I have a high paying stress free job, I finally feel able to enjoy other parts of life.

I applaud the authors ability to lean into that lifestyle. I know I couldn’t.
