Golden rules for a freshman

This post on WSJ sums everything there is to my philosophy of financial planning. Start saving as early as possible, remember that savings and returns follow the log curve, so put up with it in the initial years, Most of all don't let appearances fool you into spending money. At the end money can never buy "Lasting happiness", if you remember that, most of our expenses would come down to the real necessities. Ofcourse nobody's saying that you give up everything and live like a recluse, but set some limits.
