Let me expand on my above statement for clarity... I wrote that quickly earlier on, as I was rushing out the door...
So... At one point, I lived in a really nice apartment (Rented) in Woodland Hills... After rent, and other expenses (Such as travel) I was doing pretty well for myself...
Then my Wife wanted to move to a 'Mc Mansion' in Thousand Oaks... We Did. I didn't work HARDER cause I worked as hard as possible already. Sure we had a 'nicer place' with a heated pool, tennis courts and a Jacuzzi etc... But after the extra travel costs etc, we were a lot less well off at the end of the month...
We were spending a LOT more money, on living somewhere that we didn't really need to live (Was further away from the valley) just cause it was 'Status'... YAWN............
Eventually, I moved to downtown LA and lived at the 36,000 square foot studio I started managing... RENT FREE... I couldn't have been happier !
Not only did I get my pay from the Studio - I still earn't what I earn't before from my own stuff, and on top of that? NO RENT ! WINNING!!!!
So while my 'Status' dropped down - My bank account rose... I've never SEEN my bank account get bigger each week at the rate it did back then...
Point being - Minmal expenses -= Maximum profits...
So live wherever the fuck YOU wanna live. But if it costs to much - Dont work harder - Its your life, and you only get one shot at it
Move somewhere cheaper, if you even need to think you fotta work harder, just to afford to live there. At the end of the day, status means NOTHING... But bank balance does
