What is a good way to prevent unnecessary spending? The answer is…it depends on your goals. You could spend less on a vacation or a fancy meal, but what about on a trip to see a friend or do some charity work? These are great ways to save money, but are not the only ways to save money, nor are they the only ways to save money that work.
Many people do not make very good decisions on the Internet, and when they do, they usually do it for the wrong reasons. Unfortunately, the same thing happens when people spend more than they need on a trip to see a friend. When you go out to eat and eat, you do not pay for it. When you go to the movies and buy an expensive drink you are not paying for it. Your money is used for something else.
You might think that you are paying for the food and drink. You might think that you are spending your money on the movie and drink. But what you are actually doing is spending the money you don’t need to keep the lights on and the water running.
When you go to your local supermarket you are not paying for the food or the drinks. You are paying for the items you don’t need for your groceries. When you go to the movie theater you are paying for the movie, not the seats. You are paying for the seat, not the popcorn. You are paying for the popcorn, not the seat. You are paying for the movie, not the popcorn. You are paying for the seat, not the movie.
You are still paying for the food and drinks you dont need. In fact, you are being charged for every one of those things. You are paying for every time you go to the movies, for every time you spend the money you dont need. You are spending your money on things that you dont need, and you are being charged for those things.
This is why I’m so concerned about the recent wave of spending and spending on things that should be reserved for emergencies. You often see this in your life, especially when you hear it from friends or family. You are paying for each time you are at the mall, for each time you travel to see your favorite band or book signing. This is the same type of spending that you are being charged for.
In my experience, I have never seen this type of spending charged like this in any other industry. It is one reason I have become a huge advocate for the savings club and why I have been a vocal supporter of the Zero-Commute movement.
Saving money is something that most of us are willing to do, but it’s not what keeps our lives from spiraling out of control. Savings are like the elevator, a safe place to store what we currently have and not spend it right now. Saving money is like going into a vault for a rainy day. It means you aren’t saving money in the moment, and you aren’t spending money on frivolous things.

Here’s a link to the game about saving money. You can save money in the form of money that you can deposit into a bank account, using the same amount to pay for bills. Or you can save money in the form of a debit card that you can use to buy groceries for your kids and your own car.
