#25 | Be conscious of what you spend
Payment awareness is critical. Very often you buy a lot of things using installments or financing, so you have to be aware of what you are paying month after month.
Good financial advice #24 | Learn to say no
Have you ever found yourself self-imposed a spending limit beyond which not to go, so you can manage to save money at the end of the month? It is certainly not easy to make all the accounts add up.
Perhaps it may help to start using a magic word: no.
Good financial advice #23 | Buy without credit cards
