There are all of these neat toys out there. I thought about getting a mobile phone, but I really don’t need one and I really don’t feel like spending the extra money. I rather save my money for more important things…like starting a family.

It is so easy to spend-and so difficult to save. I found myself nodding as I was reading your top 10 reasons to spend….and I can encapsulate your article with – “Spending is fun, …. more fun than saving!” Great work.

This article is right on point. Most of our overspending is for the wrong reasons.

What about when overspending is necessary? We’ve all gone through it. The major car repair you put on your credit card so you can get to work, or the mostly minor (and occasionally major) disasters that instantly drain any savings you’ve built up.

There are TV ads that tell us in effect that to be happy, we need an expensive car, expensive clothing, and basically an expensive lifestyle. There are ads that play to our vanity.
As for the cost of maintaining a car, I know full well I cannot afford it, thus, I do not plan to buy a car. A bike does the job just fine.

I think moderation is important. While saving money is very important it is also important for people to spend money. If everyone just spent their income on their bills and nothing more, then lots of companies would go out of business and as a result people would lose their jobs. There really needs to be a balance.
