I think that staying grateful is some of the best advice for life you can have. If you live in a developed country, there is so much to be thankful for by default. It is mind boggling to think that people can complain about their coffee when 1 out of 9 don't have clean drinking water...

Regardless, my mother has always said that money is a funny thing: you never seem to have enough of it, but when you need it, you can find it.

Finding a little bit to save here and there can really add up over time.
