http://squirrelers.com/2010/06/22/saving-is-great-but-dont-forget-to-make-money-too/ Squirrel away your money to grow net worth, live well, and give generously Wed, 16 May 2012 15:18:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://squirrelers.com/2010/06/22/saving-is-great-but-dont-forget-to-make-money-too/comment-page-1/#comment-7232 Laura Vanderkam Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:42:10 +0000 http://squirrelers.com/?p=535#comment-7232 Amen. You can't save money you haven't made in the first place. The reason people write about frugality all the time is that it's very straightforward. We know exactly how to cancel a gym membership (which I'd argue is shortsighted from a health perspective, but anyway...) Earning more is a more complicated matter. But I just saw the other day on the blog of a biotech executive (who blogs anonymously) that she has a Zazzle store. Even though she's highly paid, she's still looking at sidelines! I like that mindset. Within a range, you can choose your income. Which means you don't always need to scrimp more. You can try to make more too. Amen.
