Why are you saving money? Is it so that you can have a fat wallet, nice clothes, and a house full of toys, or is it so that you can get rid of all your responsibilities and spend your time however you want to without worrying about any repercussions?
I wanted to take a minute (see I am using my time wisely) and really think about what our goals should be as we learn to make and save money.
As a follow up to Wednesday’s article on our current exploration of renting out our house, I felt like now would be a good time to discuss the greater purpose of saving money.

I hear them all the time. People ask me for advice on how to make or save more money, and when I tell them exactly how to do it, I’m told it’s impossible for one reason for another.
To be honest, I used to be the same way, until I realized that I was justifying my actions because I didn’t want to change the way I lived.
