I don\u2019t usually do this very often but today I ended up spending an entire cheque from one source in a day as I decided to invest in some resources to increase my productivity for a project. While it in no way puts me in any financial danger or anything I usually don\u2019t like doing this as I feel it makes it more likely you will become a pay cheque to pay cheque type of person.<\/p>\n
Usually the way I discipline myself is that I save up my income and if I am interested in buying something that costs a lot I wait until I save about three times as much as the cost of the item before considering it. That way when I make the purchase there is no way it will create financial stress and at the same time it gives me a grace period to really think if I need it or if there is something better.<\/p>\n
In most cases too it\u2019s usually a want as oppose to a mandatory need. In this scenario though for me it simply came down to the time factor where if time equals money then technically I should be saving\/making more this way with the investment. Can\u2019t do this too much though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
