Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I call this keeping it under control. Others may call it being cheap. Whatever it is called, it works for those who appreciate the end result of controlling expenses to the max.
Be cautious about spending money. Before spending money on large purchases, ask yourself:
Will I still be satisfied if I spend less?
Can I find a version of this product that costs less but is still good quality?
Would I rather have a TV with all the latest technology or would I rather be wealthy?
Would I rather buy a car that is so expensive that I have to stretch the payments out over five years or would I rather be wealthy?
Would I rather take a $5,000 vacation or would I rather be wealthy?
There's no secret to becoming wealthy. It's these day-to-day decisions that determine whether you will become a millionaire.
