I struggle with scarcity mentality and wrote a piece on it. Some of us absorb those early years of scarcity and have trouble letting go of it. I went to MMM site and he had a worksheet to see if your money would last and I found my money could last until I'm 97! So that was an eye-opener.
But like you write, I'm having trouble believing it. Haha.
Really enjoyed this read, thank you.
