Why Make Money if You Don't Save
I don't know about you but sometimes I get so wrapped up in making money I forgot that saving it is just as important.
I made a new webpage for my site titled "How to Save Money". On this page I explore ways to save money instead of making it. The problem lies in when I get obsessed with saving money. It doesn't matter how much is in my checking and savings I still get caught up in it like an addiction.
It starts with turning off unnecessary lights. From there it grows to ways to save gas in the car and at the grocery store. Before it ended the last time I was waiting to the last minute to pay my bills so I would get that much more interest in my accounts and didn't turn on the air conditioner for 2 years.
Those days are behind me and I think I'm getting better now. I promised my wife I wouldn't become obsessed this time.
So, here I am asking for suggestions and little things that you might do to save money. It could be anything from travel to dinner. what do you do or someone you know does to squeeze pennies.
But it should not turn into an obsession. Just think about your energy consumption and change your lifestyle where appropriate. Just be aware that energy is also a limited resource.
Be also aware about your shopping behavior. Do you consume all the food that you bought or will it end up in your waste pin? This is another issue where you could save money and spare nature from excessive waste "production".
Puh, I sound very obsessed either - that is not my plan. Just be aware about your daily behavior and you could win double.
Good luck and all the best to you.
