Saving cannot replace earning and earning cannot replace saving

If it was that easy to earn money by not buying what I wanted, I'd be a millionaire by now.

I'd like a new car. I'd like a bigger house or at least a few acres where I can build a cabin. I'd like clothes that aren't hand-me-downs. I'd like tools I don't have to buy at yard sales or on ebay. I'd like to go out to lunch instead of skipping a meal ...

As someone else stated on the post in question, it's emotional vs logical decision in terms of saving money.

Are you really one t-shirt poorer though it you're only using it for the season? I believe that's what they were saying is "spend your money wisely". Most of us are guilty of impulse buying we get caught up in advertisement hype, and then BOOM you're out $20 on a shirt or pants you never really wanted.

Same can be said with food. That's why I avoid fast food at all costs because once you just put in the time you realize how much money you've been cheated out of all for the sake of convenience.
