And when you ask them to wash their hands before they prepare your food, they will put on the soap like its hand sanitizer and wash it off in not even 2 seconds. You're not washing off any bacteria doing that.

I used to be one of those people who always blamed society for all my financial troubles.

But then I reflected back on my life and how I was going nowhere by having terrible money management skills and always needing to impulsively not delay gratification. It felt like I was quitting cigarettes breaking that habit.

Then I had that eureka moment, where I was like hey I live in the upper midwest, don't have a significant other and have no kids, so why am I still so broke? That was the moment I decided even though I have $300 in my bank account, I wouldn't drive or own a car and would only spend $15 a day.

I only pay $830 a month a rent, and utilities, and make 2.5k a month working as a cashier in retail. So, every year, I'm putting away 10k into my bank account, AFTER paying rent, utilities, food, etc for the year. I'm on year 4 of doing this and plan on doing it for 6 more years.
