Someone told me they can't buy Bitcoin because they're living paycheck to paycheck. People like him don't understand how wealth works, so let me explain: Wealth is the ratio between your desires and your ability to fulfill them. So there are two ways to be rich. Want a lot and have a lot, or want very little and be content living lean. Both are wealth. I grew up poor, I've lived the lean version, and it builds a discipline most people never get. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, there's almost always something you're buying that you don't need. And a dollar not spent is a dollar you keep. My grandfather used to say the best way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. So fold it. Cut the money leaking out on things that don't matter, and put it into the hardest money the human race has ever had. A dollar saved in fiat gets debased. A dollar spent on goods depreciates. A dollar saved in Bitcoin appreciates. Then let the pressure change you. Use the scarcity. Build a side income, cut your expenses, raise the ratio of what you earn to what you spend. There's an old line from The Art of War: ''if you want your soldiers to fight, burn the boats when you land on the beach. Put your back against the wall so the only way out is forward'' I won't pretend it gets easy. Even on the other side, more money more problems - but get tight with your money, get creative with your earning, and channel that scarcity into something that compounds. In short, burn the boats and stack sats. Future you will thank you.
