It's tempting to give into the belief that you've made it after saving some money. The cushion that you have built gives you a sense of freedom. But I'm here to tell you that it is just an illusion. We get tempted to spend a little because " We have the money for it." That's the old you calling, send that message to voicemail. We have to know ourselves and what got us into debt in the first place. If it was shopping, delete those apps, unsubscribe to those emails and avoid the mall at all cost. I'm not saying to live like a budget hermit who never goes out, although have you heard of the Brooklyn janitor who was a secret millionaire? Building a savings was the beginning, The journey continues!
