LOL- very creative. The next advice is to tie up and grow that money that you save by spedning less than you earn!

Great advice! Although a better one would probably be "EARN MORE THAN YOU SPEND." It's just a different way of looking at it. Basically, if you want to spend more, then find other sources of income.
By looking at it this way, we are not accepting the fact that we cannot have what we want. Instead, we need to realize that we can have anything we want, but we have to do something other than just work 9 to 5 everyday.
