  1. Cherryl - I love your site. These are great to read and I particularly like this one that I’m commenting on because I believe it to be so true. Someone who lives on $30,000/year and lives pay check to pay check, may well still live pay check to pay check if they suddenly took an income leap to $300,000/year. It’s about the person and their value on money and ability to maintain self control - not about the paycheck.
