In today's post I would like to discuss the topic of saving money. To start my research I googled the phrase How To Save Money and to be honest, I was completely bummed with the results. Every suggestion I could find was rooted in restriction and confinement.
Here's just a few:
Cut back on unnecessary expenses
Use coupons and discount codes
Shop secondhand
Use public transportation
Use cashback apps
Look for free entertainment
All pretty typical ideas and while they may actually help you save money, do you really want to restrict yourself that much? If you ask me, pulling back like this is a knee-jerk reaction to a common problem and while it may work temporarily, it's an unbalanced approach that simply cannot last. Are you always going to live in confinement & restriction?
I spent years living in restriction, buying all of the generic brands, cutting corners, being thrifty and buying the cheapest food I could find and guess what, I was always sick, had low energy and missed out on a lot of fun times with friends, all because I was living in fear, worried that I couldn't keep the lights on if I spent too much money. Truthfully, those years sucked!
But there was a silver lining. Buried under all of the fear and anxiety was an opportunity for growth. You see I had reached a tipping point. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired and I began to think, "there has to be a better way". So I started brainstorming and after several months of trial and error, I created a theory. A way to handle my money in a more balanced and sustainable way that would allow me to save money, get rid of debt and have plenty to live a comfortable lifestyle.
I started testing the theory and sure enough, within a month, I had extra money. Within 5 months I wiped out $25k in debt and within a year, I had saved $50k, and I didn't cut back on my spending in any way. No coupons, no secondhand clothing, no freebies and no restrictions!
I've been using that theory for the last 6 years and it has changed my entire life for the better. It's been so successful that I started to share it with friends and family and it started helping them as well! I call that theory The Big Split and now I have created a simple online course to share it with you. 8 simple and concise sessions.
