What Matters To You
Make a list of
the 10 most important things in your life. Next to each item,
rank them in order of importance using numbers 1 through 10.
The purpose of this exercise is to help you see the things
you consider the most and least important and to provide you
with a visual of why you need to save. Some examples of things
that a person might put on their list include new home, car,
special trip, artwork, starting a business, or pay off debts.

Setting Goals
Break your goals
into short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term. Being able
to see your accomplishments is a great motivator for you to
work hard at saving. If you set a short-term goal of saving
for tickets to the symphony and reach that goal, you will
be encouraged to keep saving for the intermediate and long-term
goals.
13.
Be Realistic
When it comes
to saving money, make sure the goals you set for yourself
are realistic. If you earn $50,000 a year, saving $20,000
would be nice but it is very unrealistic. Make your goals
attainable or you will never save.
14.
Flexibility
Once you have
set your goal for saving, realize that things can and will
change. The secret is learning ways to be flexible. If you
normally save $150 a month, when something unexpected happens,
you may only be able to save $50 that month. This is fine
as long as you focus on getting back on track.
15.
Insurance
Shop around for
insurance and work with a good agent that can provide information
on discounts such as good student, multi-car discount, etc.
Some people think the price of insurance is the same from
one company to the next. However, prices can vary dramatically
and to ensure you get the best deal, you need to consider
all your options.

I'm young yet old-fashioned. Hip but eccentric. And... I've gone retro. Social media has gone completely berzerk, so I've started over and am keeping it simple. If you have a problem to solve,
