“I could do with less.”
Less income, less stuff, less in the portfolio, less alcohol, less junk food, less screen time……
“I could do with less” is a way to build resilience and margin against hard things: Job loss, bear markets, illness.
But it’s also simply a better way to live. If you can live with less, and if you do live with less on purpose, then life will slow down in all the best ways.
