Today, for example, we'll talk about how how to spend money , and that, you will agree, is a very important topic.
Why do I need to know how to spend money correctly?
I'm sure that among my readers there are no parasites living at someone else's expense, which means that all of you work, getting more or less material reward for it.
Remember, how many times a day you pay wages in all serious, and then a week later unreasonable wastes were taken to suck their paw, cursing themselves for spending.
With all this, you were surprised to see people giving you advice, how not to spend money , considering them boring misers.
And certainly not once complained:
"It's all about small wages. There would have been more, then there would not be any lack of money in my life. "
I hasten to disappoint you: you are not alone in your delusions.
The painful process of changing attitudes toward money and spending, getting rid of the illusions about a small salary, I observed on the example of my friend Yana.
After graduation she went to work in a state organization with a really small salary, which was not enough for anything.
How to properly ask the Guide for a salary increase?
A year later, she moved to a private office, the salary in which was twice as high as before, but I still did not have enough for Yana.
After a year of work in a private company, a friend was raised, significantly increasing her salary.
But then miracles: complaints about the fact that "there is no money" Ian did not stop.
When I was tired of her whining, I decided to dumbfound my girlfriend:
"Look: in just two years you started to receive almost 5 times more than your first salary, the prices during this time did not increase significantly, but still you continue to complain about the lack of money. So it may not be in bad employers that do not endow you with millions, but in your relation to money? Maybe it's enough to litter them? ".
Shocked girlfriend acknowledged my rightness and promised to reconsider their attitude to spending.
She succeeded, and I hasten to share her recipes with you.
