Spend 25% Less Than You Make– When your material needs meet or exceed your income, you're sabotaging your ability to really make it big. Don't shackle yourself with golden handcuffs (a fancy car or an expensive apartment). Be willing and able to take 20% less in the short term, if it could mean 200% more earning potential. You're nothing more than penny wise and pound-foolish if you pass up an amazing new career opportunity to keep an extra little bit of income. No matter how much money you make, spend 25% less to support your life. It's a guaranteed formula to be less stressed and to always have the flexibility to pursue your dreams.
花的比挣的少25%——当你的物质需求达到或超过你的收入时,你实际上是在破坏你真正实现成功的能力。不要给自己套上一副金手铐(购买一辆豪车或一套昂贵的公寓)。在短期内愿意并且能够减少20%的花费,有可能让你未来的收入增加200%。如果你为了保持额外多那么一点点的收入而错过了一个极好的工作机会,那么你就跟那些“捡了芝麻,丢了西瓜”的人没有多大区别。无论你现在挣多少钱,请减少25%的开销。这样做的话,你的压力将大大减少,而且会始终具备追寻梦想的灵活性。
