...consists of eliminating things in my life that don't need to be there. For many years I thought that instant gratification was the best way navigate this world. I thought that saving money meant dividing my assets between instant gratification and otherwise keeping myself occupied.
That touches a causal link but it isn't focused enough.
Think about it. Let's say a soda purchased at a convenience store is $2. Why purchase it at a convenience store when in the supermarket you can get for $1.50? Does the supermarket have a generic product that might be sold for $1.25? If they do, you might be able to purchase the drink in bulk for $1 per item.
The bulk purchase may end up amounting to $10, anyway.
Wouldn't it be better to bring tap water with you to work or to wait until you get home to grab a piece of fruit?
The $10 that you might have spent on that generic product can now be allocated to serve other ends. Freshly emerging companies have stocks at less than $10 per share. There are penny stocks that show promise. Could that $2 soda amount to $5k in missed opportunity for not having it available when you needed it?
Play the tape all the way through.
"It's like chess. Try not to look at just the next move, try to look three moves ahead." ~Jason Gideon, Criminal Minds: Season 1, Episode 2; 'Compulsion.'
If the Universe really is an echo, it means that the quantum ripple expands in every direction. Preceding great gains have been exerted great sacrifices in energy. Everything in the Universe has a steadily expanding energetic value.
