Why does it seem a penny earned is a penny spent? Why is
putting your money aside such a drag?
It is. But savings is something best appreciated over the
long haul. If you look at your savings all the time to see how they’re coming
along – you’re like the kid who pulls up his radishes every week to look at the
roots. For quite a while, those roots are gonna look pretty pathetic. Instead,
open a number of savings accounts – one for emergencies, one for retirement
(even if you’re just 20), and one for
fun stuff. Have goals for each – take pride in meeting those goals. And every
so often, spend your entire “fun” account – having fun. It’ll make your long
term savings much easier to accomplish.
