In this Charlie-Munger-style breakdown, you’ll learn why keeping your bills low beats chasing a bigger paycheck, how to escape the “monthly expense treadmill,” and the exact habits that turn small surpluses into lifelong freedom. This is practical discipline over lifestyle inflation—so you own your time instead of renting your peace of mind.
