Saving is a Frame of Mind

Saving is a Frame of Mind

Save as if you are going to live forever. Live as if you only have today.

Too often, we find ourselves doing one or the other and that just doesn’t work.

If you save as if you are going to live forever, but you forget to enjoy your life and live it to the fullest, you may have plenty of money, but you will have missed out on valuable experiences and many of the rewards of working hard and being responsible.

If you live as if you only have today, but you do not save, you better plan on working on your last day because you won’t have any money to spend anyway.

Like so many things in our lives, it boils down to balance…achieving the right mix between taking responsibility and having fun, planning and leaving time for spontaneity.

Priorities

When you think about financial goals, you tend to think about the home of your dreams or early retirement and rightly so, because the fulfillment of your financial dreams is usually one of the main reasons why you go to work in the first place.
