Long time ago I had the benefit of spending a couple years in banking. Bankers have a very different attitude about money than most people since for a bank, money is the "product."
The most valuable thing I learned from that experience was that in order to be in control of my finances, I had to have a clear understanding of what my money is "doing." Just being able to get that insight has been enough to keep me relatively on top of my book keeping.
sounds like something people with leftover money do
the change is pretty stark, when you go from living paycheck to paycheck to suddenly getting a choice again.
I don't have any money but I still do it.
