Lesson#​3 Desert Island Lessons

Although I always had enough money to do whatever I wanted, the fear of not having enough money never went away.

So how much money is enough? 

Try this experiment
Calculate the amount of money you need every month in order to pay your necessities. Now halve that figure.

You can learn to live on half, by allowing yourself half your income and putting the other half aside in case you panic. 

If you were stranded on a desert island with a limited supply of food, you would not continue consuming at your usual rate. You would take care to eat frugally, and your body would learn to adapt.

It takes a few months to learn to live at the new lower level.

​And then you can halve it again, just as an experiment to see what really is necessary.
​You may well be surprised how little you need.
