It has really affected my life. I am much calmer when I talk to my boss. He is more of a joker than a boss. I laugh at his jokes and dont miss a chance to network both within and outside the company.
I have cut down on unnecessary spending and looking at avenues to save more. I have drawn out a plan to save atleast 50% of my sal. No malls

no boozing in bars. Bring the drink home.
BTW I live in India.. Thought would add an Indian perspective...
