If You Think Of People

We Need To Believe That We're Good People, And We'll Do Just About Anything To Maintain That Perception.

I Don't Think We Should Go Around Life And Being Miserable All The Time And Feel The Pain Of Paying. It's A Question Of What Categories We Want To Spend More On And What Categories We Want Feel That We Are Spending Too Much On And We Want To Cut Down.

None Of Us Always Make The Best Financial Decisions.

We All Want Explanations For Why We Behave As We Do And For The Ways The World Around Us Functions. Even When Our Feeble Explanations Have Little To Do With Reality. We’re Storytelling Creatures By Nature, And We Tell Ourselves Story After Story Until We Come Up With An Explanation That We Like And That Sounds Reasonable Enough To Believe. And When The Story Portrays Us In A More Glowing And Positive Light, So Much The Better.

I Don't Want To Say That The Poor Are Inherently Cognitively Diminished, But At The End Of The Day Of Making Difficult, Tough Decisions, It's Very Hard To Have The Energy To Think About Things With The Right Mindset.
