Many people are over extended both in money and personally. Do you ever wonder why? Sometimes people work very hard but have no idea how to budget their money. My late husband took a budget that I developed and modified it for computer use. If you would like a free copy, please email me at mae@misplacedtrustbook.com. It is concise. I started it when we had to start over many years ago. It worked very well. It teaches you how to spend carefully yet always save even if it is a small amount. I have even copy written it. Getting back to spending too much money, many individuals just make purchases without thinking of the consequences of their actions. When I saw that Melina Trump was wearing a $42,000.00 or 45,700.00 Euro bag it made me blink twice. That is a great deal of money simply for a purse. It is her right to spend that money. Yet when I think of that much money I think about the best way to use it. Many individuals go to the grocery without a list and end up spending too much money. A list should have all the items needed and then whatever may be necessary that is not food. I always calculate as I shop. When I first moved back to Ireland I didn’t buy anything without adding the total in my head. I still do today. When you think about people paying hundreds for a one night at a concert does it amaze you? I instantly think of what could be purchased with the money. Part of the reason many individuals are over extended is exactly because they don’t think. Many have this idea that if they want it they should have it. That does not always work in real life. That is part of reason many individuals are over extended and can’t pay their bills. Of course, inflation worldwide doesn’t help either. Do you think that any elections in any country will change this and help people not be over extended? The Good Gus Series is available online at Kindle, Nook and Waterstones.
