This is actually a positive post about the effects money has on your mental health. It is so true on so many different levels that money does not buy happiness, etc. etc. But not having to worry so much about money lately has really relieved a lot of stress in my life. 2 Fridays ago when traffic was backed up so much that I was going to be late to pick up the baby at school, I jumped onto the toll road and, although that cost $3, I didn't worry about it like I used to. And yes, I do think that $3 is a lot of money. But I finally had it to spare.
I will admit that this recent dental cost of $835 has been a big blow, but I did some creative things in order to pay for it. (See below post.) I just cannot have money being one of the things to constantly worry about anymore.
Even today, when I saw that I have lost about $10,000 in one of my retirement accounts. I refuse to worry. There are bear markets and there are bull markets, and I'm 30 years yet away from retirement.
