What do most people do when they receive their paycheck? They SPEND IT. SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY. I’ve seen the pitfalls of a poor budget, bad spending habits and an unquenchable thirst to obtain better and better “things”. But why? Why do we force ourselves to go from paycheck to paycheck. We work our whole lives – and some of us never get to enjoy the fruits of our labor. I get it – we all have living expenses. We all have a different threshold of how much we’re willing to “cut” before it becomes uncomfortable. I’m not standing here on a pedestal chiding you because of your money decisions. That’s the last thing I mean to do. All I’m saying is – if you want to go on that Eurotrip, or hell – if you’ve had you’re eye on the newest pair of ripped Gucci jeans – GO FOR IT. But don’t break the bank. Budget for what you want. Save maniacally and reward yourself with the things that make YOU feel happy. STASH what you earn. STASH for the things that make your life feel full.
Now I didn’t come here to just give you some general advice and then bolt.
Here are some ways that you can choose to “STASH” your money:
Budgeting
How to set up a plan for your money.
Attack Your Debts
How to rid yourself of the burden of debt – so you can keep more of what’s yours.
Emergency Funds
How much should you keep for your “rainy day” fund?
Bank Accounts
Where should I be keeping all of my money?
