Thursday Tip -- Make do and have NO REGRETS

Have you ever heard the saying: "Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without."
What great words to live by. How many times are we out shopping and see something that it a great deal or just too cute to pass up and in reality do we really NEED the item? Probably not.

I love when a solicitor comes over. "Yes, you can clean my carpets and I will still tell you no in the end." Another terrific lesson I have learned to to SLEEP on it! No I really hate sale people who come to my home and bug me. I love the end telling them no. This has really helped to not impulse buy and have ANY regrets.

The last solicitor who came to my house cleaned my floors and two hours later after dropping and dropping the price they left. My carpets did look good but I had NO REGRETS on NOT buying the vacuum. The sales man kept asking me, "How much was your vacuum." I replied, "80.00" He says, " How many vacuums do you think you will use in your lifetime?" My reply, " As many as it takes."

Freeze those credit cards....Better yet cut them up and get rid of them! If you HAVE TO HAVE that impulse buy have the CASH for it. My grandparents NEVER had ANY debt and what a great feeling that must have been.... As well as my goal one day!

JUST REMEMBER NO REGRETS!!!
