Trying to save but missing out

Thanks to modern marketing, most of the ‘needs’ we feel aren’t really needs at all. At least, they aren’t in the classical sense of the word. Modern marketing has created new needs. The need to be current. The need to be ‘with it.’ The need not to be left out. Don’t get suckered into feeling these. Be sure that you are always fully aware of the need your purchase or planned purchase is filling. Don’t give in to illusions or fake needs. Your financial life depends on it.

The money saved won’t be enjoyable after a while

The mind is a powerful organ. It truly is. It can give us all the excuses we need or it can give us all the justifications we need. It is fully flexible and can change positions whenever we want. Don’t justify stuff to yourself. The truth is that you would be worse off  without savings than with it. Don’t let your mind play tricks on you just because you want to buy something today which you know you shouldn’t.

Their friends & neighbours are leaving them behind

Peer pressure is one of the oldest forms of marketing. It still works like a charm today. If you are serious about saving for your financial future so you can have a great future, you need to stop looking at what your neighbours and friends have. Instead of looking around, you should look ahead. Start trying to save today!
