  Projected savings this year: $1500 per month.
  
  But it's actually not the amount you save that matters, it the amount you earn that matters.

  i used to think that way until i realise it was easier to cultivate a saving habit than to curb the temptation to spend the money.

  Saving is easy, you have the money, you can tell yourself to save.
  
  Earning money is about persuading people to part with their money. So much harder.

  once you start to earn more, you will spend more. $5 happy meal will start to look cheap to you.
