A few years ago I had a reframe, a realisation, when it came to me and my money. 

Financial peace of mind felt far more comfortable to me than any material or experiential comfort I could buy. I don't have a high-paying job and anyone who knows me knows that pairs of Manolo Blahniks and Chloé bags weren't exactly my financial downfall, but still, we can all flit notes and coins away in the name of so-called luxurious living.
