Ask DR. Gertrude 1st Episode
What is the #1 Tip that Helps me Save Money?
Hopefully, you watched the wonderful video above. It shares my number #1 tip that helps me save money. I love being silly, I like it a lot (insert Forrest Gump voice). It makes life a little more enjoyable. Saving money can be such an arduous task. Thus, it seems completely natural to make finances, a seemingly inevitable snooze fest, more fun. As a result, I present to you Dr. Gertrude.
Attitude is Everything
In all seriousness, I actually really love the answer to this question. There are many things I do and things I try to do, to save money but it all really boils down to attitude. Dave Ramsey has said many times, “Winning with money is 80% behavior and 20% head knowledge.” When we are intentional about our purchases, we distinguish between needs and wants. It’s hard a thing to master because sometimes we want something so much, that it might seem like a “need”. The key to mastering this skill of discerning between “needs” and “wants”, is to be content with what you have. When you’re not constantly wanting the next new thing, you can be more grounded in your decision making.
“Winning with money is 80% behavior and 20% head knowledge.”
Here is my challenge to you, take inventory of all the things for which you are grateful. You may realize, you need a lot less than you think. Mic Drop… Just kidding!
