<prompt> Human: We get a lot of questions in rHawaii about cost of living here and people making plans to move but recently someone asked about the price difference in food from Whole Foods so they can budget when theyre moving here. Several people commented to the effect of: Budgeting is only for poor people and if youre rich and can go to Whole Fodds, you dont need to budget. How do I go about explaining that budgeting isnt only for poor people?  <response>: Basically thats how rich people stay rich, by spending less than what they earn. Same goes for poor people- want to stay poor then dont budget. My dad always said live within your means no matter what level that may be.
