Give up instant gratification to get delayed gratification.But you can do both.For years, I was confused about this, as I read books and websites that sent me two different messages:Pleasure later. The first message was that in order to be successful, in order to build wealth, you have to delay gratification. You cant have instant gratification and be successful.Pleasure now. The second message was usually from other sources on Happiness, but sometimes from the same source: enjoy life now, while you can, because its short and you never know when your last day will come. Live every day like its your last. Trouble is, I agree with both messages. And if you read this site often, youll see that I send both messages: Live frugally and simply! But also enjoy life!Thats because Ive reconciled the two philosophies into one: Live life now and enjoy it to the fullest without destroying your future. The key to doing that? Find ways to enjoy life completely, utterly, maximally that dont cost your future very much.Here are some tips for actually living that philosophy:Find free or cheap pleasures. Frugality does not have to be boring or restrictive if you use your imagination. Be creative and find ways to have fun loads of it without spending much money. Have a picnic at the park, go to the beach, do crafts, board games, fly a kite, make art, bake cookies I could list a hundred things, and you could come up with a few hundred more. Make a list of simple pleasures, and enjoy them to the maximum. This is the key to the whole idea of enjoying life now without spending tomorrows dollar. See Savor the Little Things .Make simplifying fun. Im a big fan of simplifying my life, from decluttering to creating a simple lifestyle in every way. And to me, this is great fun. I get rid of stuff (and possibly make money selling it) and have a blast doing it. Thats good math.Rediscover whats important. Oftentimes we spend tons of money, shopping, going out, watching movies, eating out without really enjoying life. And when we stop to think about it, we never have time for the things we really want to do. Well, thats probably because your life is filled with things that arent very important to you. Instead, step back and really think about whats important to you. Then get rid of the other (expensive) stuff, and focus on whats important. Listen to some stuff on my list: my wife and kids, other friends and family, reading, writing, exercising, volunteering, spending quiet time in contemplation. Guess how many of those things cost a lot of money? Read more here .Make people a priority. This is related to the above point, but I thought Id give it a little more emphasis. If you give stuff a priority stuff like gadgets, nice furnishings, nice clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. then you will spend a lot of money. But if you make people a priority the people you love most, you close friends and family you dont need to spend a dime to enjoy life. Make some time to visit with friends, or your parents and have a conversation with them that doesnt involve eating out or going to the movies. Just sit, have some iced tea or hot cocoa (depending on the weather), and talk. Tell jokes and laugh your heads off. Talk about books youve read, movies youve watched, new th
