This morning, while stopping for a fix of my drug of choice, caffeine, I decided to calculate how much I was spending on my overpriced soy latte in big-picture terms. I figure, if I’m grabbing one before work every day, and each one costs me $4.15, then that’s got to be putting a pretty big…

Quote reblogged from timoni.orgIf you have two choices, choose the harder. If you’re trying to decide whether to go out running or sit home and watch TV, go running. Probably the reason this trick works so well is that when you have two choices and one is harder, the only reason you’re even considering the other is laziness.How to Make Wealth (via timoni)

The decision to save money is both a personal as well as a financial choice. Very often people may find themselves stuck between what they want to do (i.e. save on a regular basis) and what they think they can afford to do. Saving money may be considered a luxury by some people who don’t feel…

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Kids are raking in an average of $15 a week in allowance, according to a recent survey. But money earned isn’t money saved, and a majority of parents say their kids are spending their allowance just as quickly as they receive it.
While children generally receive a larger allowance the older they get, the average across all ages is $780 a year, according to a survey by the American Institute of CPAs. That’s enough to buy an iPad and an iPod Touch, or an XBox 360 with 10 video games. In just four years, a diligent saver could buy their first clunker to drive their friends around.
But, as the survey found, allowance money is rarely saved. Parents say most of their kids’ allowance is quickly spent on outings with friends or toys.
The AICPA’s survey found that 61% of parents pay an allowance, and more than half of them starting making these payments to their kids by the time they’re eight years old. Yet only 1% of parents say their child ever saves any of that money.
Part of the problem: More parents teach their kids about good manners, eating habits, and grades than money management. Eighty-one percent of parents say they’ve discussed managing money with their kids, compared to 95% who discuss good manners, 87% who discuss good eating habits and grades, and 84% who discuss the dangers of drugs and alcohol, the survey found.

Great article. How does your money make you happy?
I am 3 for 3 in agreement on points in this article. I think (at least for me) that under-indulging can make life sweeter, that experiences are better than things and that giving (especially the right kind of giving) and enrich your life beyond belief. Especially with giving, it has to be personal and make YOU feel good. I find that I do little fulfilling giving to big name charities; I give to friends causes, to friendship and for what I believe to be good karmic ‘investments’. Like all things in life, only you can decide how your money can and will enrich your life.

Quote reblogged from BillfoldingInterestingly, and usefully, it turns out that what we do with our money plays a far more important role than how much money we make.
