million. Okay, now everyone listening goes, oh my gosh. That’s, that’s so weird. Why? Why doesn’t she just enjoy it? But most of us do exactly the same thing. We do the same thing, whether it’s with a restaurant or a hotel. The way that we act with our money is often rooted when we didn’t have any in our childhood, teen years, or early twenties. Mad Fientist: So Edinburgh is a really big coffee city actually, and they have great cafes who have lots of people that are passionate and lots of roasters. So I’d maybe go down there and chat to them about potentially learning more from them in some way or if they had any recommendations for what to do for somebody in my situation, I guess. It all starts with the basics. Know exactly how much is coming in and how much is going out. You may have to write it down until it becomes second nature. Then, you follow the steps above which include financial automation and conscious spending. Let’s start with banks.

As Ramit mentioned during our last interview, FIRE people are great at knowing what NOT to spend on but we’re not good at knowing what to spend on.What’s Your Rich Life? An interactive journal from the bestselling author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich Jeff is 50, he’s a specialized surgeon. Susan is 48, she stays at home with their two kids. Their discretionary spending has grown over the years, ballooning at an uncontrollable rate. But their biggest issue is that they’re being taken advantage of by a percentage-based financial advisor. In fact, if I ask people like, how do you decide how much to spend on a vacation? And we really get into it, they, the answer really emerges that they basically have a number in mind. That number was born when they were basically 20, because that’s what they remember about how to plan a vacation. And they have not adjusted that number as they have made more money. But that’s not how wealthy people treat money. That’s not how someone who’s living a rich life treats money. Think about somebody who’s like very good with food. They love to eat healthy food. They’re gonna talk about food with their kids. Oh, come on, let’s cut this garlic together, we eat this because it tastes good and it mixes well with that.

I’ve noticed a lot of the O.G. F.I.R.E. bloggers and Podcasters have continued to make money after F.I.R.E. and then end up talking about these kind of “what do I do with all this extra money?” Topics. I don’t really need that message yet, but who knows maybe someday I will? There are aspects of my tightwaddery that I’m planning to keep. One is making use of free and secondhand stuff. Where I live, there is vastly more of it than there’s any market for. I mostly use local free groups to get rid of my excess, but I occasionally obtain things. I borrow and lend, too, which keeps everybody from having to own something they only use once or twice a year, and it lets me get to know some of my neighbors. It’s a myth that shopping used is somehow taking away from people who can’t afford much. At least around here, there is vastly more secondhand stuff than there is any market for.

I just don’t want people to live a life of, I will do that someday. And then, I mean, what a tragedy to live a smaller life than you have to. What an even greater tragedy to end up 70, 80, 90, with millions of dollars in the bank if you follow the FIRE community, never actually having done the things you want to do.
