💗$💵 FINANCE FRIDAY | Spend with Purpose

It’s so easy to get caught up in comparing our lives to others, especially when scrolling through social media.

But here’s your Friday reminder: Your worth is NOT measured by what you own, the clothes you wear, or the things you buy.

Before making your next purchase, take a moment to pause and ask yourself: I really needed this quote today as I have so many needs and wants and fighting that desire to buy. Especially as Black Friday is near and I need a new computer. Plus, many other items on my buy list.

Few tips.

✨ Do I really need this?

✨ Is this something I truly want?

✨ Does it fit within my budget?

✨ Am I buying it because I need it or because I feel pressured?

Sometimes the best financial decision is simply waiting 24–48 hours before making a purchase. I personally had to do this last night with an Apple Computer. I almost bought one but practicing the pause for a few more days. I typically do large purchases on Sunday’s when I am rested.

Remember, living well isn’t about having more. It’s about being intentional with what you have.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

Let’s make choices that support our financial goals and bring us peace!
