Do You Know the Three Things Money Is Good For?

Money is a tool and like any tool you need to take care of. It serves three purposes.

1.   To spend to meet your needs, wants, and desires.

2.   To save.

3.   To give away

You’ll find out that the first purpose is going to take up the majority of your money. We all need food, clothing, and shelter. Most of us have certain desires. All of these things take planning.

Planning how you’re going to spend your money is going to require that you take a good, long, hard look at how you’re spending it now. Take just one area, food.

·         Do you plan meals or do you do a lot of take out?

·         Clip coupons to get the best deal?

·         Check the weekly ads?

Planning for the big things will take even more of your time and effort but it will be worth it.

My parents lived by this idea:

                   Buy the best you can afford and take good care of it.

Make this your slogan and your money will go a long, long way.
