My sister and I have been very different our whole lives. The biggest difference between the two of us is while I espoused frugality she “spent money to save time”. For example while to save 100 bucks I would clean my own house- she would instead spend 100 and spend two hours relaxing, working on her business idea, or studying it up. She did this on almost everything with laser focus- spend money to solve any problems she didn’t like, and only spent time on things she liked or was good at. (No coupon clipping or sale searching). For the longest time I used to think she was ridiculous but. Now she’s 26 and making 250k a year at a tech job she excels at- 2 promotions in the last the last year living it up.
I on the other hand spent hours, days and months saving money- clipping coupons, searching for deals before big purchases, etc. I’m making a decent 35k at 24 and still eating lentils while she has expenses her Michelin star (avacado and caviar probably) dates with her investment banking boyfriend.
How do I stop feeling like this!
