The more I read & talk with planners & analyze my family’s habits — the more this proves true:
controlled spending habits can hugely mobilize one’s savings.
It ain’t nothin’ to shake a stick at.
But I love AnnTaylor LOFT!
I would do well to resist that clothing splurge & invest the cash instead.
So I just opened up my family’s first cd with the would-be splurge dough (5.15%, 6 months, ING). ING offers strong security protocols & fine, reliable customer service. And as Michael Fischer expertly explains at his videoblog, the compounding examples tell it well.
…baby steps right?
It’s clear as our/my habits improve that increased savings power is inevitable (recognizing sovereignty over one’s choices looks exciting).
Stumble It!
Ketchup on a straw - yum! For me…the onset of sweater season is beckoning and feels almost irresistable. I can overcome!
