One Last Tip Of Saving Money

I have read 101 tips about money saving, I have read a book with more than 500 pages about living a frugal life. There are more than 1000 ways to save money here and there. But if you would only take one advice about saving money, I would tell you to fall in love with saving money! One becomes an artist only if he/she loves it, one becomes an musician only if he/she loves it, one becomes rich because he/she love money. And one can only save money when he/she love the idea to save the money.

Love is the only motivation
Love is the motivation for everything. It is obvious that everybody loves money, but not everybody loves to save money. When it comes to money saving, you got to have the passion of collecting coupons from newspaper or online and looking for the best deals from different stores. Without the passion, why not just sit back and watch some TV with a soda? Without the passion, why not just get the first thing you saw without comparing the prices?

Love makes you try harder
Should I bother to save just $10 every month by refinancing again? Should I spend hours searching onlines for the best price? Should I go over the tax return again and again? If you love to save money, you will do anything to save any amount of money. Turning off all the electronics and lights any time you can be tedious for most of people, but not for people who loves to save money!

Love makes you enjoy saving instead of spending
Some people eat junk food or ice cream when they are frustrated, while some will swipe their credit cards without thinking. Do you enjoying spending, or saving? You need to change your mind set from now on. If you think saving money is something you need to do because you are short of money lately, you are not ready yet. You think spending on Black Friday sales will make you happy? You are not ready yet. Smarter one only spends on something that they absolutely need.

Well, you may not agree with me. But I have to say, if there is only one money saving tip, this is the one. Starting from today, tell yourself how happy you are after you saved a penney or two. Be proud of yourself by doing a math every week to see how many you have saved in one week. Share your frugal tips with your friends – you will find people sharing the same intersts of saving money. I am sure a few months later, you will fall in love with money saving!
