I spent late 20s and early 30s living on 25k a year. I now make 4x that, I still live like I make 25k. My budget plan is to live like I'm pore

Yeah I'm at 5x what I started out with and I'm broke as shit, maybe I'm lying a little bit, I have savings now but for the last 2 years it hasn't grown at all. Although I now have more responsibilities that accounts for some of the increase in spending, I'm fully aware that as I made more, I normalized spending more.

My mother always said if you make a million dollars a day but spend a million and one you are still a pauper
