5 RESPONSES TO "MONEY TIP: BOTH PAYCHECK AND EXPENSES NEED ATTENTION"
Matt Bingham
This is good, down to earth advice. Often times people think they can fix their financial situation with more income. It is actually a life style change more than an income change. I like how you use the term "margin" here. It really is all about your margin and how comfortable you are in it.
Spend less than you earn is a better rule than all the other rules of thumb. However on has to be realistic when just starting out. How do you thunk your income will grow? How do you think your expensses can be managed and contained? After one has settled down thing get better. So its a matter of wait and study and having fun doing that.
