I HAD IT. Articles, magazines,
radios, and seminars talks about the same thing. SAVE. Throw away your credit
cards. Think first about what you will buy – if it’s a need or a want, and
always keep in mind your financial freedom.
But how can we call it freedom
when we are so constraint in buying what we want? Until when should one
struggle with saving and not buying? If our lifespan is unknown to us, how can
we be sure if what we have is more than enough?
Don’t get me wrong here. I am
not rejecting what all honorable financial advisors are teaching. As the matter
of fact, I totally AGREE with them. But I just like to share one more thing, on
top of what they are saying…
YOU CAN STILL ENJOY SHOPPING WHILE SAVING.
Yes! You heard me right! You can still buy those trendy shoes, fashionable
clothes, branded bags without compromising your savings. You can even treat your
friends out in a fancy restaurant. You can even get your massage for FREE! How cOoL is that? :D
God did not just call us to
save for the future. He desires us to live an abundant life here on earth. He
also wants us to enjoy life just as He had created it GOOD. He has called us to
be a GOOD STEWARD of everything He had given to us.
This is the primarily reason
why I am starting this blog. To share my learnings in life in relation with finances.
(Take note! This is just a sharing. So feel free to comment).
To start, here’s a few of my
so-called “rules” or “principles” or “tips” – whatever you may want to call it.
1) Take
the SAVING SYSTEM to your SHOPPING SYSTEM.
2) You
can EARN from CREDIT CARD.
3) MORE
SAVINGS from CREDIT CARD.
4) DELAY-SHOPPING
is WORTH the wait.
5) EARLY-SHOPPING
is better than ON TIME.
6) STUDYING
can help you get a GREAT DEAL.
7) MORE
Discount MORE Shopping Money!
I will be discussing it in
detail on my succeeding post. So stay tuned. :D
