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.
Refuse those unnecessary fees.
Emergency Fast Cash
Possibly one of the bigger mistakes people make when theyre in a financial crisis is not being prepared to make a clear assessment of where theyre at.
You worked hard for your bonus or raise, so, go out there and have some fun. First, ask your family, then your local bank. Think creatively. If you are not quite ready to quit at least cut back by half. Another new way of thinking will be to think of frugality as your savior.
