Money fuels a lot of our life.
We need it to pay our bills, eat, and have fun.
Money as your master, however, is a mindset that doesn’t have to exist.
Treat money as a tool you use to become happier with your financial life.
As personal finance blog The Frugal Farmer explains, trying to save money is fine.
When it turns you miserable, though, that’s a perspective problem.
Your budget and frugality are math problems (“Can I afford this?
How much should I save to retire on?").
Feeling rigid, joyless, or miserable is a psychological problem.
So put it in its proper place and focus on enjoying the truly important things in life.
You’ll be much happier, I assure you.
Of course, that’s not to say money can’t cause stress.
It can absolutely do that.
Butsolvingyour money problems shouldn’t be just as stressful ashavingthem.
