About a week ago I unexpectedly received my tax return on the same day I got my paycheck. When I checked my checking account and saw the unusually large balance, I was absolutely ecstatic! It instantly inspired me to begin my much needed new habit of saving money. I decided it was in my best interest to use this as a sort of jump start to reaching my goal of $5,000, as I originally intended starting about six months ago. Unfortunately my "want list" interfered and apparently took higher priority. Instead of saving my newly obtained funds I bought a lap top, a new bed, new bedding and matching curtains. I also bought a new purse and have intentions of buying a TV this weekend. Although I feel great about all me newest accommodations, I certainly didn’t follow my plans to save up $5,000. I have to admit, however, my little shopping spree wasn’t entirely impulsive. Every purchase I made actually had about 2 or 3 months devoted to researching and comparing the product, reading reviews, and basically making sure I did all my homework before buying anything. In the end, I personally benefit most from the "review" portion of the SQ3R reading strategy. I was successful in reviewing different stores, prices, brands, and comparing quality to determine what was best for me. I could definitely benefit from being more decisive about my goals and what I want. I need to decide, before I act; save or splurge? Heaven forbid I settle for an easy medium.
well I can definitly relate. Did you really need a t.v and that other stuff? At least you'll be in comfort when your typing on your bed and not to mention in style.lol
