For me, it's a matter of thinking about opportunity costs (why spend $40 on this shirt, when I could spend $30 for another, and keep $10 for retirement). This gets me to save money, and avoid unneccessary expenses. That’s a creative approach:) Interesting article.

I myself have a fictive "Saving Piggy", containing a bankaccount, an indexfond account and an account for buying stocks. All those savings are for forfilling my dreams (travels, books, recreation, new things for my house...) and for having money in the bank,for future secure. And the saving is always at least, or more than, 10% of the income, that goes into the "Saving Piggy" every month. Thank you for nice reading on your get-rich-sight.

We never pay with coins. We always pay with paper money. The change goes into the bucket. At the end of the year we roll up the change and put it in a savings account. Although, we have used it in emergencies. Like when I needed my wisdom teeth removed. We were able to pay the $2,000 all from our quarters nickels and dimes. We never missed a cent of the money because we never pay attention to our coins. We save close to a thousand dollars every year by implementing one rule. We never pay with coins.

That's a great way to save some cash. I do have an allowance envelope, but maybe I should try the load stone thing. Using cash to pay for every day things really makes a big difference in psychology as well, it cuts down excess expenditure. That’s a bunch of hooey! :b hahahh..

This idea ties in with the saying, "If you want to make a big purchase, make sure to sleep on it." If something is still important to you the next day, then you can be more certain that it's a good purchase. For this same reason, sometimes when I go to the mall, I leave my wallet in the car! If I see something that I really want, I'm going to have to walk out of the mall, grab my wallet, and then go back inside to make the purchase! By that time, all of the warm fuzzy feelings of the purchase have subsidded. And, to be honest, I hardly ever make the trip in the first place!
