Mentality

When you think about saving, do variety, satisfaction and prosperous living come to mind? Or do you have a “sacrifice mentality”, thinking instead, deprivation and limitation? A sacrifice mentality is the belief you need to deprive yourself in order to save. With thoughts focused on what you don't have rather than what could be in the future.

In order to break this mentality, think of saving not as restrictive living, but as a total management plan designed to dramatically increase your total life income. A management plan offering flexibility, not rigidity. It should allow you to choose from a variety of options, and include some of your favorite activities. The key to success in saving is moderation … not deprivation.
