Discipline in saving and the ability for delayed gratification in order to build financial security and to pay cash when a purchase is needed or desired.
Save your money and get interest. Work to make money at the same time.
Always have and work towards a financial goal. Adjust your goals as necessary but never abandon them.
Begin a retirement and investment account now. The earlier you start a long term savings/investment account, the bigger the payoff in the future.
If you don't have the CASH to pay for it, you can't afford it. Being able to make the payments doesn't mean you can afford it.
Money isn't everything and greed is not good.
Don't make money your goal. Money results from providing the right service. Choose the right service and money will follow.
Save at least 10% of each and every paycheck. Force yourself to do this. It will pay off in the long run.
A sale in a store is not a sale if you can't afford it.
