Having to live below your means sounds a little ‘Depression-Era’, but it’s critical for any financial success. On this Queer Money®, we talked about how this principle affects everyone – wealthy and poor, black and white, gay and straight and everyone in between.

So, it’s not an income problem for most people. If it’s not an income problem, it must be a spending problem.

Principle 2 of a debt free life: Live below your means

We were two 30-something financial services professionals making decent money, telling people how to manage their money and living in a basement apartment and buried in credit card debt. It wasn’t until we started to respect this principle that we turned our financial lives around.

When we realized that living above our means was costing us $10,000 a year in credit card interest payments and that number was growing, we realized that we were living abundantly. We were living unconsciously.
