Restrictions=Freedom??
September 13th, 2006 at 10:39 pmI was reading through Mary Hunt's Everyday Cheapskate newsletter today and she mentioned something that hit me like a brick. She said "The more I am willing to be disciplined, the more numerous my options. The more carefully I plan, the bigger I dream, the better my life becomes and the more joy I experience."
I hadn't ever really thought about it this way, but it's true. When we discipline ourselves in our spending, we create a savings and this can lead to financial freedom. I need to remember this the next time I'm tempted to impulse buy.
