I Lived On 50 Percent Less With These 4 Money Rules

Cutting your spending in half sounds like it means giving up everything you enjoy, but that idea might be completely backward. I ran a short experiment to slash my personal spending by 50 percent, and it worked because of four counterintuitive money rules instead of strict deprivation. You'll see how paying yourself first, automating your splurges, buying for long-term value, and building an automatic system can change the way you handle money. These rules are about intention, not restriction, and you don't have to cut your spending in half to make them work for you. Start with just one rule and see how it feels.
