Echoes: living simply

Let’s talk about money. I think everyone has a love-hate relationship with it. But the absolute best ever advice I’ve ever heard about saving money wisely is:

“Live above your needs and below your means.”

Of course, it’s not always easy. In fact, my first blog post ever on The Tori Story was actually about the difficulty of job hunting and surviving as an eager-to-succeed 20-something in today’s world.

But as fellow 20-something Ella Walker wrote, “We have our whole lives to own houses, send our future children to ‘good schools’ and go on cruises.”

She’s right. Living well in your 20s never meant living lavishly. It means making smart choices. I am thankful for my great job (however busy), good car (however rumbly), nice apartment (however small), and all my loved ones surrounding me. Simple as that!
