Living Within Your Means Isn't About Money
|
People say the key to financial stability is living within your means. But what does that actually mean? I worked with a client who made nearly a million dollars a year. By most peopleâs standards, he was wildly successful. But during one of our sessions, he admitted something that caught me off guard: âTyler, Iâd honestly rather make $300,000 and have a life. This isnât what I wanted.â Despite his impressive income, he felt trappedâby obligations, by expectations, by the lifestyle that came with it. His âmeansâ had expanded, but his happiness hadnât. Thatâs the problem. Most people think living within their means is just a math equation: income minus expenses. But if you havenât defined what âenoughâ looks like for youâif you donât know your values, priorities, and what actually makes you feel fulfilledâthen no matter how much you earn, youâll always feel like youâre falling short. Living within your means isnât about numbers. Itâs about clarity. Itâs about deciding what your money is actually supposed to do for you. So, do you feel like your spending reflects what actually matters to you? Hit reply and let me knowâIâd love to hear your thoughts. âTyler |

Last month I sent an email about the small, frequent, forgettable purchases that quietly drain your money. I concluded that the best way to stop the leak was awareness. But since then, I realized I donât actually agree with myself. Awareness is valuable, but knowing where your money went after you spent it isnât the same as stopping the leak in the first place. The real problem isnât that spending is invisible. Itâs that we donât decide before we buy whether a purchase aligns with what we...
Last week, I asked: What would you do with $5 million? And wow. Your responses were incredible. Some of you mapped out every dollar down to the cent like one reader who planned everything from their exact mortgage payoff amount and finishing the basement to funding a sidewalk for their neighborhood. Others had a simpler plan: Half in Bitcoin, half in VOO. But the most fascinating part? No one said theyâd buy a mansion or a fleet of luxury cars. Instead, I noticed four big patterns: Financial...
Iâve been watching Beast Games. Go ahead. Judge me. As I watched contestants fight for a life-changing prize, I started wondering: What would I do with $5 million? Itâs more money than most people will ever see or earn. To put it in perspective, youâd have to make $125,000 a year (after taxes!) for 40 years to reach that number. So hereâs my question for you: If I handed you $5 million right now, would you know exactly how to use it? Most people think a sudden windfall would solve all their...
