Just say no to impulse buying
If you see something you want, put it aside and think about it for at least a couple of days. Chances are, the impulse should pass.
Look to other sources of entertainment
Find ways to socialize and create your own entertainment that dont revolve around expensive restaurant tabs or event tickets.
Spend time in quiet time
Quiet time helps you recharge your spiritual batteries and give you the time you need to reflect on life and make better choices.
Remember that time is money after all
This time issue is going to loom even larger than money. We, as a society, have concluded that time is money. The two are closely tied. Spend time wisely.
Dont forget those fat charges banks hit you with when you write a check that, well, bounces.
Instant Cash Loan
Its money thats out of your paycheck before you have a chance to even make decisions about it.
Dont pay a dime for anything that you can make or fix for yourself. When you pour milk on it, you would never know that it had been frozen. Clean out any unnecessary items in your car. Just as you go to tip the waitress 15 to 20 percent, put the same amount aside for yourself. In this case, a payment extension can allow a little breathing room to help you recover during your money emergency. Instead of the debt, go for the emergency fund and save.
