I believe this to be true, and at this particular time in my life, it's my new motto. Any financial adviser will tell you the same, it's the every day little things that add up. It's the coffee at the drive thru, the pack of gum at the grocery store...
So this is my spot to brag about the money I have not spent, as I find that the most difficult thing to track. It's easy to see where the money goes when you try, but "savings" and "not spent" to me are two different things. "Savings" are a conscientious spot where you dedicate funds. "Not Spent" is the willpower you show to NOT buy that chocolate bar, or get the kids a toy at the thrift shop...
Please follow me on this adventure.
Hi Crystal... I can't wait to learn some new money saving and "not spending" tips.... I kinda feel the same way about money. My dad always says that if you don't have money to buy it, then you don't really need it... which I've kinda translated into me never needing anything new for myself and always shopping off season, sale or second hand for the kids.
