I have a hypothesis for you.
I posit that people who intentionally live on a relatively small amount of money (rather than people who are unfortunately forced to do so through circumstance) have better standards of living — and more fun — than people who live with more.
Why? Because they have chosen their lifestyle.
The older I become the more I realize that our relationship with money — and whether it’s a healthy or unhealthy one — isn’t just down to how much we have. It’s whether we are master of it, or it is master of us. Who controls who?
Living a smaller, simpler life is taking control. And with control comes an opening to experience an awesome life.
