Success doesn’t have to lead excess. Just because you may find yourself becoming more financially successful throughout your life, it doesn’t mean that you should dramatically change your lifestyle. People who earn more generally spend more, and to a certain extent, that’s okay, but if you find yourself constantly trying to keep up with your peers, you may discover some negative surprises.
Just because your fellow colleague may eat out for lunch every day, drive a fancy car, and wear expensive clothing, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they can afford to. You don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. They could be in debt up to their eyebrows for all you know. What matters most is that you know what you can truly afford and spending accordingly.
When I was a child I used to have the picture (seen on the left) up on my wall that said, “Never Ever Give Up”. I really liked it because it is the true picture of what it means to persevere.

You will find that most things in life that are worthwhile involve a lot of persistence. This is especially true for achieving financial success. Persistent people make more money, save more money, and have a higher net worth than those who lack persistence. They are so successful because they never give up.
