There are a number of tips and tricks and suggestions that you can utilize to help improve your financial situation. Every guru, advisor and industry leader has “the secret” to financial success. But there is one tip that can help you get to where you want to be no matter where you are right this moment. Following this one simple step can help you secure the financial future that you desire.
Wait 72 hours before spending a dime.
It seems simple enough, but if you wait 72 hours before making a purchase then you will avoid those impulse purchases, convenience buys and HUGE mistakes that we all make now and then. You won’t be running in to grab a soda while pumping gas because you didn’t think about it for 72 hours. You won’t be eating out instead of fixing something when you get home because you didn’t think about it for 72 hours.
When you put off purchase for 72 hours then each dime that you spend will be deliberate, well though out and specific. In other words you will be planning each and every dime that you are going to spend. In the end you will find that you save a lot more of those dimes than you end up spending.
