Worrying About Money

This may be controversial, but if you're worried about money you should be focused on making more money instead of saving more money.

Trying to save money is important. Saving big is much different than saving little though. Saving little is skipping a Starbucks coffee here and there and thinking that you're saving XX per year and you feeling like you're taking positive steps financially when really it's just a tiny impact.

While that's good and all that you saved a couple dollars, in the grand scheme of things those little savings will add up to one BIG saving over 20-25 years. It's really not much. However, if you save BIG every 5-7 years, those huge savings will add up to something enormous. I mean saving by getting a 20K car instead of a 35K car. Getting a 600K house instead of a 950K house. That's a lifetime of Starbucks and more savings.

Next post, I'm going to discuss making money versus constantly thinking about savings.
