Money-Saving Mindset
A money-saving mindset
It is hard when money is tight to enthusiastically embrace these steps to a money-saving mindset but actually it is when it is most needed. You may feel like you just want a treat and everything a bit miserable so why should you deprive your self more but actually. This is when you really need to think.
If you want to shop – STOP!
You would be far better taking a peek at my best books on happiness post than purchasing anything today!
Here are 5 steps to a money-saving mindset.. 5 things I have been trying to put into practice lately as my income has halved in the current situation. I absolutely have to focus on having a Money-Saving Mindset
5 steps to a money-saving mindset
- Give your self time to think
- Take the long view
- Think about alternatives to shopping
- Find other ways to treat yourself
- Be thankful

Step by step money-saving mindset activities
- Rather than saying yes then regretting it, I am practising my Money-Saving Mindset with the words ‘let me get back to you’ to give myself time to think about how to phrase the No, thank you I need to be saying more I need to say no to myself too and learn to avoid spending money unnecessarily
- I need to think about being debt-free and having savings in the long term. My kids will both be heading out in the world int he next 6 years and I totally want to be able to support them. it is time to save.
- I need to think about embracing my anti-shopping list principles. In fact, I think I should print this list out and keep it on my fridge
- There are a billion ways to treat yourself without spending why not create a long list and every time you have the urge to splurge look at your list and pick one. Ideas could include phone a friend, have a big bubble bath, dance to your favourite song. keep it wide and varied and full of things you love.
- Saying thank you every day before I sleep for the things I have appreciated about the day ends the day well. It also strengthens my brain into seeing more positives than negatives ( it really does) the brain forever changes you know and what we focus on grows. Being grateful also stops me thinking If I buy more i will be happier. there is a lot to be said for being satisfied with what you have.
