Live Within Your Means

I started The Freeman Society as a way to keep myself on track to reaching my goal of financial independence in the next 10 years (and some lofty goals for the 10 years after that). This last year, 2008, I successfully completed my first goal. This year, while I'm working on my second goal, I'm going to share every week something I learned in during my studies last year.

My first year goal was to live within my means; spend less than I make and make more than I spend. I specifically break state it that way, break it out into two parts. Most people focus on spending less than they make. What they don't focus on is making themselves worth more to help the problem at both ends.

I'll be posting on a new different topic every Friday on what I learned in my experience, what I've read and from speeches I've listened to.
