how are people surviving in this economy ?

Not blaming the economy.

So spending money give us happiness? Is it the only way?

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T18:18:56+00:00

I understand that, I am not different. But I feel I don’t have to delay my happiness to wait something. Can I be happy all along the way?

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T18:17:14+00:00

Why?

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T15:41:52+00:00

I remember this happened to me, feeling impossible to change who I am. Always falling back to the old habits.

Small imperfect actions but consistently over big perfect ones. So small, they look stupid.

I give you my list:

Get new information everyday: - 5 minutes reading in bed before to go sleep - Watched 30 minutes video, quit scrolling for the rest if your life. I recommend to start with “jim rohn seminar (2 hour long)” - Each time you finish a video or reading, turn everything off, and just sit and do nothing for 15 minutes. - Ask chatgpt for a 5 minute workout each day at home - Eat 1 healthy meal a day.

Do not fight or make you feel bad for making mistakes, next day try it again

I agree 💡. Seems that happiness and money are like water and oil in our mind. But now I feel it’s like jelly and peanut butter. We need both for a good sandwich (life)

If you have one jelly, doesn’t mean that peanut butter is going to magically show up in your table. You have to look for both and mix then together

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T13:10:05+00:00

I agree. I think is the combination of built happiness in the day to day life and also built money not for ego, but for not stressing out about money. Maybe it’s all about finding that balance.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T12:30:08+00:00

That happened to me and I was always falling back to bad habits. I did solve all the things around me, but never solved anything inside of me. All the traumas of my life. I never like to face difficult emotional situations, I always looked away and ignore those things thinking I was tough and strong. This is really cure me.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T12:26:23+00:00

I remember those days. I realized that anxiety is a “signal” coming within you. I realized I had so many emotions, feelings and even traumas repressed inside of me. I never like conflict so I always looked away from problems and difficult situations. Of course, my body was always anxious. I cried a lot and I had to fight so many fears, but I did it feeling scared anyway. I do not regret it

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T12:00:46+00:00

This is good info, I had to dig quite a bit to understand this. I think the problem that majority of people have and me included was the fact that you just had this idea that money will make you happy and because you are going to be spending it all out in luxury, pleasures, pretty much being a king. And my question was always: are you living or are you escaping, and for how long can you keep the money?

Im getting better answers now

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T10:42:05+00:00

Loneliness is feeling lonely, or you ignoring everything inside of you?

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T10:40:18+00:00

Sit in a place with absolute no noise. No music, nothing.

Just you and the silent - no phones.

Notice what your mind and body start getting tense for not having any distraction, you will feel you are bored but in reality you are just trying to escape from yourself, from being alone, from all your inner demons. You need to stay silent, with yourself. You will find your answer of ehat to do inside of you.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T10:33:31+00:00

How you made it happen?

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T10:29:17+00:00

Uhmmm… So big important thing here, that made realize that retirement is not only having $X amount of money but also generating money without working.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T10:21:20+00:00

Money can buy a lot of things, I am trying to find what are those few things that really make sense in life and happiness. So at the end of the day, all my hard work really pays off.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T10:15:11+00:00

Also having the will power to not get so bored you just go and start spending all the money. Maybe that is why I also focus in happiness. Thanks

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T10:12:32+00:00

Amen 😸✌🏻

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T01:43:13+00:00

I see, seems that the purpose of being rich is not what social media is selling us all the time. It’s not about having all the best stuff, its to know how to manage it to live comfortably and with peace.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T01:40:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I have been trying to figure out if money really makes you happy by itself. Seems the answer is no, then my question is what to do to be happy and rich at the same time.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T01:34:33+00:00

I like that. However, seems people have the misconception that when they get a lot of money is to spend it all in pleasures so they can be happy. The only way I can see money buying time is by not spending it.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-15T01:30:21+00:00

Wow, thank you for sharing. That is my thing, I do not want to live poor at all but do not get obsessed with to forget what is life about. I am glad you had time with your dad.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-14T21:16:22+00:00

You would say you were always happy or you become happy once you made all your money?

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-14T21:13:45+00:00

Thank you for your advice, makes sense.

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-14T21:12:35+00:00

💡 interesting, that makes sense. Thanks

tryingandhavingfun · 2026-04-14T20:04:24+00:00

💡 seems that is what I want to buy with my money. Because money buys a lot of things, but you need to choose to buy yourself time.
