Our personality and lifestyles affects our ability to save. Most every action we take (including those not immediately related to buying something) is based on whether we are likely to spend money or save funds
. We positive need
to change our way of thinking.
Ask yourself this question: Do you believe you have saved funds
when you bought the new pair of jeans at 20% off?
No you didnt! The problems lies with the fact money was spent in order "to save funds
." After the transaction, you might
have a nice pair of jeans, but you also have less money to your title
. The concept of "Saving Your Way to Success" is based on not spending to save or saving to spend but saving to save money--to save, accumulate and become financially successful. You will never reach financial success if your concept of saving is the "Christmas savings plan" where you save money in order to save money for Christmas shopping. That is not a plan for saving--that is a plan for spending.

when you buy a new pair of jeans, if you really needed the new pair of jeans. You are being financially savvy if you might
