#615 38. Cut one expense. Right now
Principle:
QUOTES:
[1] Scripture
[2] Cut one expense. Right now, you’re spending money on something you don’t use, don’t need, or don’t want. But since you buy it, you feel you have to use it. I subscribed to a number of magazines (because subscribing is really cheap compared with buying at the newsstand). Great–but then the magazines show up. Then I have to read them. If I don’t, they sit around making me feel guilty.
So I dropped three or four. I don’t miss them.
Often the biggest savings in cutting an expense isn’t the actual cost; it’s the time involved in doing or maintaining or consuming whatever the expense represents.
Pick one expense you can eliminate that will also free up time and effort: Your bottom line and your workday will thank you for it.
