Episode 3147:

Mr. Money Mustache explains how developing a “ChaCHING!” instinct, feeling rewarded by not spending money, can radically shift your financial trajectory and mindset. By training yourself to see each avoided purchase as a small win, you increase both your wealth and your freedom without relying on deprivation or strict budgets.

Quotes to ponder:

"I just avoided a purchase, and I am richer because of it. Cha-CHING!!"

"Every time you don’t spend unnecessary money, you have won a little game."

"Your safety margin and independence in life just grew a little bit, and the entire rest of your life will now be better because of it."
