ten reasons

I read a couple of articles the other day on the internet about managing money.  I thought they were wonderful.  They were like, Ten reasons why you will never be rich......

Here are some of the highlights, and I added some of my own:

• you spend money like you are already rich.
• you don't have a plan.
• you don't have an emergency fund set up.
• you don't save.
• you started to save too late.
• you neglected retirement.
• you sacrificed tomorrow for today.
• you did not invest in an education that will put you into a good job.
• you have too much debt.
• you pay too many fees.
• you are easily influenced.
• you have no budget.
• you don't pay attention to the budget that you have.
• you don't track expenses.
• you don't balance your account each month.
• you don't save via automatic withdrawals.
• you buy high and sell low.
• you buy everything new.
• you think you deserve the best.
• you try to keep up with the Jones'
• you are living a life of consumption rather than generosity.
• you try to retire too early.
• you have no sense of urgency.
• you would rather complain than commit to change.
