“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result: happiness.

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result: misery.”

-Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

I enjoyed Laura Vanderkam’s review of A Thousand Gifts, because I too am one of the (few?) who didn’t like that book.   I feel slightly more normal now.

Such a simple message but so powerful and true. Spend less than you make and you'll find happiness but spend more and you shall be guaranteed misery. We'll choose happiness thank you. :)

Totally agree on the One Thousand Gifts review. Couldn't finish it, but my sister read it three times! Just couldn't handle the bad grammar and too. many. unnecessary. words!
