    How do people think other people get rich, anyway?

    Disclaimer: I am fully aware that this is a First World problem, to complain about prices and money in general, but as I am living in a First World and not a Third World, this is my reality for now especially as a PF blogger....

    Why people think $20 is more expensive than a $20 increase

    Are you upgrading your lifestyle, or simply trying to only buy quality items?

    The problem I always have is this conflict between the struggle to NOT upgrade my lifestyle and to stick to being minimalist, which means buying much less but in higher quality. Upgrading your lifestyle: is when you COULD live/make do with the cheaper option, but...
