A large part of every adult person's life is BUDGETING, but you wouldn't know it by what's taught in schools. A lot of us normals graduated from high school unprepared for the financial realities that adulthood brings. Technology has spawned tools that help us budget, but even more technology that makes it easier to spend. Almost everything can be purchased within 5 clicks on the Internet, and there's no paper trail or offline evidence to heighten your awareness of your habits. 

More than ever, we need to control our money mindset and spending habits...beginning with understanding the difference between wants and needs.

You may rich people are spared the headaches and oppression of budgeting...but budgeting is one of the primary tricks to becoming and staying rich. Learn to embrace it for a more secure life, which, counterintuitively, creates more FREEDOM.
