Read along with the original article(s) here: https://womenwhomoney.com/gratitude-improve-health-and-wealth/ Quotes to ponder: "Gratitude helps you focus on what you have instead of what you lack, improving your outlook on life and reducing negative emotions like envy and resentment."

"Being thankful for what you already have encourages better spending, saving, and investing habits because you no longer chase happiness through material possessions."
