I still have so much room to grow when it comes to pausing before I speak/post. I most frequently slip at the gate: is it necessary?

Damn , I would have to be real quiet all the time.

🤣 Same. I think I need to practice more restraint of pen and tongue.

*sigh* you and me both.

I also have to unlearn a lot of negative fiat mentality qualities.

It's hard. 🫂

What negative fiat mentality qualities do you feel you need to work on unlearning?

Consumerism mostly. I buy things I don't need as if they won't ever run out.

I’m pretty frugal, except when it comes to food spending. I have to be mindful not to indulge every craving.

I have to stop eating out so much. Kills my bank account. But it tastes so gooood.

I get cravings like a pregnant woman. It’s been a joke since I was in middle school that my family will know I’m pregnant when I start eating like a normal person. Unfortunately I’ve been craving sushi lately. I try to only eat out when I’m socializing. Otherwise I’d probably have ordered sushi every day until I got sick of it.

Mmmmmm suuushii

It so good, right? What’s your favorite thing to order at a sushi restaurant?

Yellow tail and Spicy Tuna!

Nice. I like spicy tuna too

But also measuring happiness by the amount if money I have. I think I learned that from my parents. Money was everything to them.

I think my parents would like me to value money just a touch more than I do. They’re glad I’m not materialistic but also like would it hurt you to buy a house?

I’d also add asking ‘Am I the one to say this?’ and ‘Should this be said now?’

A lot of people can learn from this advice

Me most of all. I’m a slow learner in this regard.
