[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of good advice, but OP said they are over spenders not savers. Honestly it your spending is out of control, just buy less or cheaper stuff. So when you buy coffee, buy a smaller cup. When you need clothes, buy less items. Delay haircuts. Mow your own lawn. When your pet dies, don't buy another. If you have subscriptions that you dont use cancel them. It adds up. Soon you will have more money to save.[/quote]

I am a spender and I need little tricks like this to get me to save (not that I am any model for how to do it - I'm reading this thread because I love to spend money. My best trick is that every time I check my checking account, if it seems like I can spare some $ I put another $50 or $100 into my investment account - I've gotten up to $30,000 in a few years doing it this way).

I would disagree with the pets advice - pets bring so much joy and happiness to a home. They are worth every penny. But if you really don't want to spend that money, you can foster - shelters and rescues will usually cover all the expenses while you have the pet in your home.[/quote]
