One things that was big for me was the way I looked at my bank account.
Like when I used to look at it, I looked at it as how much money I had to SPEND till I got to 0
Now I look at it as how much money I HAVE
Just because I have a certain amount of money in my pocket, doesn't have to mean that's all I have to SPEND. I don't have to spend any of it if I don't want to, that's a choice.
Like if I have 10 dollars in my pocket and it's lunchtime, that doesn't have to mean I have a 10 dollar budget for lunch. I could use 7 for lunch if I wanted to. No one is putting a gun to my head saying I have to spend the whole 10 dollars. I can have 7 dollars to spend, keep 3 for whatever, and use self control.
That concept right there changed the way I look at money A LOT
