Sincerely Angie

Truth is, it’s 2025, you should already be saving. If Hurricane Katrina didn’t teach us anything twenty years ago, it taught us that we should have a rainy day fund, or in Louisianians case, a hurricane season stash. Everyone doesn’t live in Louisiana, so COVID-19 should’ve taught us that having a savings account with enough in it to get by during a trying time, is necessary. At least six months worth of bills and living expenses.

Don’t believe the lies you’ve been telling yourself. Yes you can save and you can start today. I’m not going to reiterate the millions of ways you can save. I have many posts under the budget tab with tips and tricks on saving. This post is the reality check you need. In the day and time that we’re living in, it may seem hard to save but the reality is, everything is not always what it seems. And our minds are playing tricks on us. We have to have mind control over Deebo! With the state of the world and the economy, having money to spare is paramount.

What you need is discipline and to sacrifice for a few months to a year or more to realize that everything you think you need, is all in your head. You don’t need it, you want it. And everything you really need, is on the other side of your sacrifice. In this season, you’ll have to learn the difference between needs, wants, priorities, your “why” and sacrificing for a bit of time, to get to the future you want. So this blog post isn’t laced with tips or tricks. Just do it. No more excuses, because excuses keep you comfortable. Growth comes when you get out of your comfort zone. Time is not standing still and life can and will life when it wants to. Don’t put off any longer what you CAN actually do today. Save your money now so that your money can save you later, if you need saving. Otherwise, it’ll save you from a lifetime of lack, borrowing and missing out on an abundant life.

Sincerely,

Angie
