I will definitely take your advice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652309275929240576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239552513515054585.post-61361282036754252192012-01-27T21:45:05.503-05:002012-01-27T21:45:05.503-05:00As long as you're comparing yourself to other ...As long as you're comparing yourself to other people, you will never have enough. If you overextend yourself to buy shoes you can't afford, there will always be someone who has a better/more expensive/cuter pair. If you throw caution to the wind and take that vacation you can't afford, there will always be someone who took a longer/more exotic vacation. My suggestion: stop comparing yourself to others, live within your means, and if you want more, earn more first.Single Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304629601616898196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239552513515054585.post-21950577223508219772012-01-20T09:31:44.464-05:002012-01-20T09:31:44.464-05:00That really does make sense, thanks for the advice...That really does make sense, thanks for the advice.
