A good life or a good living?
Here’s another one from RulesofThumb.org:
A good life is of more value than a good living.
I don’t even have to reframe that one to make it apply. However, wouldn’t it be great if you could have both?
If you don’t know what you need to buy…
I found a rule I really liked today over on RulesofThumb.org:
If you can’t figure out what you want to eat, you’re not hungry.
I think this goes for spending too – if you go to a store not knowing what you need to buy, you probably don’t need anything!
Positive Money Image
Another one from RuleofThumb.org, talking about having a positive body image:
There will always be someone at the nudist club with a body that looks worse than your own.
Taking a personal finance slant on this, maybe we could go with:
There will always be someone at the bank with a savings account that has less money in it than yours.
Just in case you’re thinking to hell with it, why should I save?
Is there hope for us all yet?
I saw this over on rulesofthumb.org today -
97% of the rich earned their fortunes themselves. 3% of the fortunes are acquired through inheritance. 80% of millionaires are extra thrifty shoppers; many clip coupons. RulesofThumb.org
I don’t know how true the numbers are, but if they’re even close to being right, that means we all have a chance to be ‘rich’.

About
So, you want to know what's up with the brackets in the name? "Curly brackets (also called braces, or "squiggly brackets") are sometimes used in prose to indicate a series of equal choices" and "Square brackets are mainly used to enclose explanatory or missing material usually added by someone other than the original author, especially in quoted text." So basically, if you really want to be wealthy in life, you have to figure out how to get happy. Since that whole spiel would make a crappy name for a blog, I decided to do something a bit creative with some brackets.
