IF YOU WANT TO CREAT WEALTH, YOU NEED TO SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!

If you could save $1 a day would this make a difference? If from birth to age 65 you invested a dollar a day ( $365) in a tax free account you would have over a million dollars at retirement.

If it’s too late for you, think what you could do for your children or grandchildren. By the way, it’s not too late for you.

Look around your home at items that you purchased for under $50. Hey, it’s just $9.99 or $19.99 right. How many of these items did you really need?

When your co-worker says let’s do lunch-you say no! Right? But you say, there is a special at only $5.99 for the entire meal and it includes dessert!

Cut out the long distance service on your phone and use a calling card. You’ll be surprised that you don’t need to talk to your friend across the country for hours at a time.

Do you know you can save $115 a year and 54,000 calories by not putting cream cheese on your bagel? You’ll look a lot better to!

When you do go to dinner at a restaurant don’t take an appetizer, dessert, and drinks. Don’t burn money, if you smoke, quit! If you drink, stop! This will save you a small fortune over a lifetime.

Don’t use ATM machines. They charge you to take your own money out. Not smart.
Are you starting to get the picture? Start sweating the small stuff!

Jacques, you are not saying to be a tight wade. Just watch how you spend the money that you do have and save more of it. A very good idea. Thank you for your great post.
