I had to learn to live within my means when Mr. Redhead passed away in 2005. I have been on a fixed income ever since that has NEVER increased by more than a dollar or two (Social Security) until this year. Learning to live on half the income I was used to has taught me a lot of things. Self-discipline, frugality, the old World War II jingle of “Use it up, Wear it out. Make it DO, or do Without.” I made some wise investments at the time that have given me the confidence to go ahead with life. Not much, but enough. Living Within Your Means means just that.
Love it!
