It is true that some people who earn less live very stable and happy lives than others who earn really well. It is because those happy people know how to spend money well.

They budget their money well. They don’t spend randomly or follow their urges. They carefully draft a plan of how each of their penny will be spend.

They also live within their limits and have learnt to be contented. That way, they fact that they don’t have much does not stress them. They could be taking a hike in a forest with the family and so much happier than a wealthy family in an expensive cruise ship.

Lastly, these people have learnt to make money work for them. They don’t stress themselves doing so much work or being trapped in a matrix of employment. They have learnt to invest and never depend on a huge salary to live.
