---### Making more money doesn't have to be hard

If you're feeling strapped and wondering how to "make it" in life, and want to ~~feel~~ be rich, here are my tips for you.

1. Spend less.
2. Save more.
3. Only spend what you have.
4. Raise your rates.
5. Be generous.

That's it.

**The difficulty isn't the formula. It's the execution.**
