And the ones not willing or ready to change their extravagant lifestyles, attribute your prowess to "luck".<br /><br />I so understand what you're saying. I used to try to share things that helped me get where I am. But, now I just mention to consider "living below your means" (LBYM). If they look at you like you're crazy, it's time to save your breath and go on. They aren't willing to make an effort, and labeling you "lucky" allows them to remain in denial.<br /><br />l,<br />bstitchesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808300877155592211.post-51559961289290305732011-07-15T22:13:03.769+10:002011-07-15T22:13:03.769+10:00I know what you mean.

Finding $50 on your morning walk isn't lucky - it's fortunate - you created your own luck the moment you got your butt out of bed to go for the walk and put yourself in the position to find the $50! The only luck I believe in is the luck that comes when a bird poo just misses the sleeve of your brand new black jacket.....!<br /><br />The LOML has a saying - if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. That's our motto and it works pretty darn well!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792332012026719246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1808300877155592211.post-41467610207617288862011-07-15T13:10:55.242+10:002011-07-15T13:10:55.242+10:00Oh so true Mel.
