"Each of us must live within our means."

__
The accounting equation describes this__
reality in easily understood terms.

___Income (Money coming in)
_- Liability (Money owed)


_= Equity (Net Worth)

One can only spend more money than is
coming in by either borrowing from someone
else or borrowing from previously acquired
"Equity" which in turn depletes one's "Net
Worth."

Only buy things that are either essential or
will increase in value.
