@romell It's about planning, strategy and discipline.

@DeluxedEdition yes can't without that..no rocket science

@twistedrope You manage it quite well! Must be difficult sometimes if you don’t have spending money

@kimmy159 I've found it less painful as my hobbies are mostly free. I never have spending money because I generally don't spend or call it "Money to waste". I think behaviour of consumption breeds behaviour of consumption. Since I don't indulge, I don't feel the need to indulge but that takes years you know.

What I will say is I can always spend money on what I want but I'm not looking at expensive things or even not expensive things to buy because realistically I won't use it. I think that comes from living a full life though

@twistedrope
That’s very wise and insightful 😁 You’re right about it too 😁
Ads and companies rely on us as consumers to try and fill a void with most products, especially luxury ones. But that high from buying something nice is very temporarily and afterwards, we often feel like we didn’t need it at all.
Even though I know this, I still like buying nice things once in a while 😂 we also only live once and I save more money than I spend.
These days it’s more about trips with family though than buying things 😁
What kind of hobbies do you have? 😁

@YoMomma You do? :0 why? 😁
Not judging, I just personally like a sense of financial Independence 😁

@SpudMuffin I agree. But its not always a positive. Paticularly at the start of the process.. And when companies measure a CEO by the next P/L statement, innovation is not front of mind..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman True enough! And when they have several businesses in several countries, it’s easy to manipulate the books in one of them ;)

@kimmy159 Exactly. Thats where the law breaks down..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Ohhhh so that’s the secret! If I had known I wouldn’t have blocked the 4 princes who already contacted me 🥲

@kimmy159 I am in awe of their good taste in selecting you..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I was born for the princess life 😂

@Jenny1234 have you had your surgery yet?

@Thrust I had it Thursday afternoon. It went well.

@Jenny1234

Eggcellent! 🥚

@vetguy1991 well done! 😁

@kimmy159 look at Warren Buffett and take his advise. It's not sexy but the returns are as regular as a bottle of Metamusal!

@Thrust hehehe as long as it works it doesn’t always need to be sexy 😂 that’s just an additional perk 😆

@kimmy159 I have a financial guy for the unsexy stuff. Follows Warren Buffet's homily.

Sexy stuff I do myself 😎

@kimmy159 thats a good thing?

@AllelujahHaptism To me it’s pretty much the same 😂 but it’s nice that I will be visiting new area’s again when I want to visit her haha. I can fly to Birmingham now instead 😁

@kimmy159 means alot of hearing a birmingham accent aswell though >.<

@Selah It’s a way of managing too hahah

@kimmy159
...true I suppose, I guess I am living a good life but I never really thought I was doing anything different than anyone else out here. The one thing I learned very early in life and have stuck with ever since... and I mean from as far back as my initial dating days in high school, was to never formally 'break up' with a guy when feelings for him started to wane. Instead, I learned to keep him firmly within my social life but with the understanding that we were now in an 'open' friendship or relationship. "Open friendship" is to mean, he can still socialize in my social circles with me if he wants to but if I like the look of his best friend, I won't hesitate to take his friend home with me if that's what I feel like I wouldn't mind doing in the moment! If he can't deal with that, then that's all about him, not me.

@swirlie Everyone can choose for themselves what works best ^^ I could see myself living that kind of life too emotion wise, but my husband could not and so I decided to adapt for him 😁 it’s not always easy but I saw the perks in that for myself as well. I’m quite honest in how I feel and communicate that too so there’s no real struggle that he’s not aware of 😁
Yet, I have no regrets so far 😁

@kimmy159
I agree with you that we have to choose what works best for each of us and sometimes those benchmarks change as our personal needs ebb and flow through life. As long as you have good communication skills and your husband is very good at listening, then you will continue to enjoy the best of both worlds!

@MarineBob I’m a woman, can I manage yours now? 😂

@Moneyonmymind Unfortunately that’s indeed the case 🥲 my husband and I balance our finances. He saves money and I spend it 😆 perfectly balanced (jk)

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout How bout I manage it for you? 🤣🤣

@kimmy159 In that case, I am good at managing my finances. 😂 😂

@ABCDEF7 hahahha 😂 see that got solved at record time hehe

@kimmy159 It's really a quick fix. 😂 😂

@kimmy159 I need to have them to manage them.

@Iwillwait True! *sending you good finance attracting vibes*

@kimmy159 💜🙏💜🤗
