Saving for Something Sunday

Once again it is Sunday- Saving for Something Sunday, as I like to call it.

Sometimes it is very hard to save money, maybe there is just none left at the end of the week. I understand, I know it can happen all of the time no matter how hard you try to not over spend. Things happen and that is ok.

Even though I think saving money should be a priority, I think there are times when you can say ok it didn't happen this week, but next week or even tomorrow is another chance.

Even though it is nice to have a set amount of money going into savings every week, I know its not always practical. But sometimes something is better than nothing at all.... Stay positive, tomorrow is always a new day to be brand new :)

*On a side note, I have been trying to use cash for everything instead of swiping my card-even though that is so much easier. But I love that I get change back and I save it up, when I am going away for the weekend or on a vacation I cash it in for some extra spend money. Its nice because it is money you don't plan for.

Saving for Something Sunday

For all of us there is something we always want or even better something we need. And for the most part we are use to just going out and buying it, even though we can't really afford it at the time. It might be an "I want a new tv so I will charge it to my credit card and pay it off when I can" Or in some cases it might be "My child needs new clothes, I have to buy them so I will just charge them and pay them later."

I think that saving money is very important. Having an emergency fund, in my opinion should be a high priority. This way when something major comes up it isn't a question of can I afford it.

I know that saving money isn't always easy. It takes effort and sometimes sacrafices to do it. But the end result of not having to worry about money all the time is worth it.
