Something I often thought about when I was poor is how expensive it is to be poor.somebody comes by and sees you drinking water out of a stream with your hands. you need a cup! you're wasting energy and time
no, im investing my energy in more important things. ill make a cup when it becomes the most important thing. right now, using my hands is smart

Something I often thought about when I was poor is how expensive it is to be poor.it might be me. usually it's me
just to clarify, im not saying it's fair, and i'm not even saying it will work, it's just a way to understand how the idea of investment applies to your personal life
imagine you were stranded on a deserted island. you have limited energy, and the clock is ticking
find water first, then make shelter, then find food, then do the next thing, and the next, each step making yourself safer. its just how to survive

ask yourself what you would do if you needed to double your income. what new skill, new permit, new location, new degree would it take? write it down

Something I often thought about when I was poor is how expensive it is to be poor.money is a tool
use the tool to help yourself - boots that last, an education, reliable transportation, a financial buffer, moving to a place with better jobs
use it to make yourself more productive, minimize risk, and create opportunity
don't spend it, invest it in yourself. food and shelter are investments
cheap boots can be wise, if they leave you with more to invest, in more productive things. id rather have cheap boots and cheap gloves then great boots and no gloves
