“Value-based spending is easy, it's powerful and it'll probably save you money. When we start to lose touch with how much work - how much of our blood, sweat, and tears - went into getting those dollars into our bank account, it gets a lot easier to just fritter them away and somehow still end up unsatisfied with what our money got us. Value-based spending changes the question from "Do I have the money for it? to "Is it worth the work I put in to get that money?”

“But it's important to keep in mind that you break out of this scarcity mindset the same way that you break out of any bad habit. You need to actively change your thinking and behavior over time. Maybe that's saying affirmations in the mirror in the morning, maybe it's pounding the table and negotiating at your job for more money every single year, maybe it's forcing yourself to order something that isn't the cheapest thing on the menu. So, while yes, I highly recommend you talk to a therapist, you also need to be making active decisions to grow your wealth instead of just hoarding it or frittering it away.”

“Debt is a tool, the same way that shovels are a tool. It's value-neutral, and can be used for very practical, constructive purposes. The same way shovels can help you plant a beautiful garden and save you time and effort, debt can help you achieve your goals faster and with less work on your part.”
