I recall the saying, "There but for the grace of God go I". I rely on that one when I'm being judgmental as well (so pretty much every day).
I was an EXTREME CONSUMER. Through grace, I've learned errors in my ways and am now only a MASSIVE CONSUMER, on my way to MILDLY EXCESSIVE CONSUMER, and God-willing, one day I will be a MUSTACHIAN.
Compared to most of the people around me, it feels like I'm a financial genius (just yesterday I was admiring someone's new Range Rover, bought on credit for a mere $51,000, thanks to the $5,000 discount they got for Labor Day; and only a few thousand left on their existing car loan to boot).
I'm certain all of them are much better than me at other things and probably look at me going, "Why can't he just see what he's doing wrong?"
