I agree. My advice is focus on growth. Willpower is a finite resource, you can use it to save 2 bucks on a bottle of water or spend a few minutes learning a new skill. One saves money once, one pays dividends forever. If you have unlimited willpower go ahead and do both, I know I don't.
- charlesdm 10y agoI like this one: negotiate hard on every big purchase you make in life, whether it's a new car / house / new couch worth $2k / bank fees / financing / etc. Make it a habit of negotiating on everything that is negotiable (which is doable on a lot more things than you thought). It's a valuable skill. The gains you make from that will save you a ton of money during a lifetime. Don't ignore large potential savings by penny-pinching on the small stuff. Heck, if you do this, you can ignore the small stuff.
- pastullo 10y agowow, you are totally right. That's quite mind-changing for me since i never bargain. If you sum up all the bargains of a lifetime, it will be huge.
