Love the intro, which felt like it spoke directly to me. I remember when I dreamed of making $50k a year. No I do and it seems like it's not enough, even in Gainesville, FL. I would say that it is actually possible to support a family and even save on $50k a year my family of five is doing okay at the moment, but it takes a lot of discipline. I think it relates to your other point about mindfulness and how it's turned into a product. I'm trying as hard as I can to pursue greater health and satisfaction without increasing spending. This is one of the reasons why I like intermittent fasting and time restricted eating, it's a way of pursuing health without spending money.
