Quote by William Feather

A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it.

A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep

Summary

This quote suggests that a budget serves the purpose of defining our financial limits and showing us what we cannot afford. However, it highlights that having a budget does not necessarily prevent us from making purchases that exceed our financial means. In other words, even when we are aware of our budget constraints, we may still be tempted to make impulsive or extravagant purchases despite knowing the consequences. Thus, the quote serves as a reminder of the importance of self-discipline and making thoughtful financial decisions within the limitations of one's budget.

It all changed when I realized I'm not the only one on the planet who's scared. Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, Are you scared, too? You bet your sweet life I am. Aha, so that's the way it is for you, too. We were all in the same boat. That's probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, Who else feels like this? the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way.
