15 BE INSPRED, JANUARY 2014 WAYS TO KICK OUT THE OBSTACLES LIVE FOR TOMORROW NOT FOR TODAY Living for tomorrow, in savings I mean, is easy said but harder to do. It was a tough task for anyone. Imagine how much you’ll be able to save by walking away from an impulse buy, using the savings to pay down debt, or wait for the items to be marked down. Over time, most people don’t sit down discussing being the first to have anything. It just becomes common. If you realize your tomorrow’s necessities today, you could be able to have more money in your pocket. You may like reading how to overcome your hurdles. DON’T SPEND LIKE CRAZY Make a commitment to yourself that you will be accountable. You won’t be doing a lot of emotional spending this year. You will buy necessary items out of necessity not what the market commands. Don’t commit to a big buy necessarily, like a new car for example. When you need a car, think of buying a pre-owned one instead. It can save your money up to 75% with depreciation and interest.
