Thanks Jeff for your advice.
So basically it boils down to creating value (the appreciating assets) or enabling someone else (the superstars) to create it and then you get a share equal to the level of your enablement.
The thing is that if you just live within your means you will not unbalance your situation and bankrupt yourself but neither will you improve your situation. So there has to be something to move you out of that state and into a new state of greater abundance. Living within your means is a good place or it is better then living beyond your means but why settle for good, right, especially when you could live better?
So then I think that living within your means is sending a message that you are OK. You are managing. So in and of itself such living is not goign to create greater abundance than you are experiencing now. This is what I am thinking now ...
