Great comments by Moneymonk, too, because I do think you need a mix. You have to earn more than you spend, but you can blow that by increasing your spending far too rapidly, too. Diane, that's great! My lists are just starting points - I'm sure you and everyone else can take those ideas and go a LOT further with them than I could in a general public comment. thanks AJC!

Diane, that’s great! My lists are just starting points – I’m sure you and everyone else can take those ideas and go a LOT further with them than I could in a general public comment.

I like Brip Brap's lists - I had actually started on a few of them, figuring they will take time to grow, but when they do it will be nice for a little extra. It gives one pause to think about whether or not we can do more with our free time than we are.

You are still lbym but yet you are focuses more on increasing your income/cash flow. Therefore your lbym bar can be raised a little. In other words you cannot do one without the other. DO BOTH. MC Hammer and lottery winners tend to blow it all simply b/c of the lack of financial knowledge. Assuming you have the knowledge, like most pf bloggers, well now it's time to focus on increasing your income. Agree, but over the long haul you’re just peddling along

Same here, why deprive yourself when you can work on the other angle. I don't think Oprah, Warren and Bill Gates got to be Millionaires by skipping lattes.
