[Thread] How did you evolve financial mindset
Most of us have had financially restrictive childhoods and now earning well above our parents at the same age. (You got the point, Don't come at me with inflation and all)
It has been ingrained in you to save resources and spend less. Deprive now, so your future can be better.
But future is uncertain
How have you built the mindset or financial habits that let you enjoy the present and also not worrying about the future?

Tell me you're rich without saying it
Bro worked hard to become rich. I was born upper middle class and dad’s dad was a welder in railway. Dad worked hard became IRS. He was always helping others since I’m seeing him.

You make more money than you can spend.
I chose the 2nd one.

I find it so hard to spend on myself
I come from a poor background, but somehow I worked extremely hard and now I earn decently well (above 60 LPA cash).

Do you feel lesser need to hustle after making a decent amount of money?
I did not grow up in a lot of money. I ordered looking at the prices on the menu. This feeling has stayed with me and has fueled me to thrive, push harder, work long hours and get to my goals.
I'm 5 years into my career, and last year...
I felt this once I sold my startup. Through my other investments I have enough to not work and make whatever I spend ...
