THE LESSON OF RICE & BEANS..........

When I first got married, we were poor, but in love. As the months went by and I tried to get a break, my wife used to tell me that as long as we had each other, she would be happy living under a tree. This statement empowered me to not strive or become ruthless to get ahead. At the same time, it motivated me to provide a nest for her and I......I went about making a living....just working hard that's all.

I remember saving enough to buy a home and borrowed the rest from my boss at the time. We barely had enough left over after all expenses. No matter because..... my wife used to buy these big sacks of rice and beans and fix them creatively..... all week long. Its filling, I ate well, and I learned to appreciate meat when I got it....Meanwhile, the mortgage got paid and the kids went to school....it goes on this thing we call..... life.
We learned how to live on less.....in order to get more out of life
If PITI makes sense, that is.... if it is the same amount of money ... more
