I have random thoughts
It's occurred to me that "living beyond one's means" doesn't just refer to money ... but also to time, space, energy, focus, and even the ability to enjoy.

EXACTLY 💯
I can think of three people i know who are doing this.
One is living in a manner where they're literally destroying their health and won't make retirement age. (Im talking a matter of the next three years!), They refuse to see symptoms as health warnings, and refuse to change in any way.
Another is doing it emotionally - and killing their relationship, and their future of being partnered.
Another is continuing a dangerous relationship....all due to the financial gain it'll give them.
Its INSANE !
All of them are currently living the way they want.
And i get its nice to want things and to have them.....but if you are refusing to look at what its costing you.... or will cost you...
...is it, or will it be worth it ?

@OogieBoogie Serenity lies in the opposite direction. I can't turn on a dime, but maybe I can start by slowing down.

@NudasPriest as someone who lost a lot of dreams and hopes, i must admit.....after the long haul of accepting they were gone, it has freed up a lot of emotional space and stress over achieving.
So weird how life works🤷♀
