1. Stop trying to fit in
Our egos are strong forces.
We want to be liked.
We want to fit in.
Too many of us compensate for these emotions with unnecessary spending, even though spending more doesn't fix the real issue.
The older we get, the more we realize who our real friends are. It's not always about who has known us the longest, it's about who makes us feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated, supported, and loved.
