Budgeting

Accept your Limits

(continued from notes elsewhere)

Key mindset: Don’t go beyond your budget. It’s not worth it.

Know your limits. For example, if you’ve figured out that you can only work for three hours today on account of other chores, then fine, deal with it. Don’t aim for more than that and then fall flat on your face. Your aim is to make the most you can with the limited resources you have.

You have to accept that you only have a limited amount of resources. Like you have just just three good hours left today, or just Rs 1200 in the bank for the rest of the month, or only a few years before all your friends settle down and you can’t do carefree stuff together anymore.

Tyler Durden: First you have to give up, first you have to know… not fear… know… that someday you’re gonna die.
