This is Rance Robinson, your Ultimate Money Fight league commissioner! You know what is not fun? Running out of money is not fun. I recently had a friend [let’s call him Ritchie] tell me that he had to live off of $35.00 for a week and a half until he got paid last month. That is NOT cool. So I asked him “Where is your savings account? Why are you in that type of position?” He really didn’t have a good reason and that’s kind of sad. It was the usual suspects like eating out, a little shopping, paying bills, and throw some partying into the soup pot. Hey, recreation is a good thing, don’t get me wrong. I asked him what his life would be like if he saved $100.00 per month, would he be doing alright? Of course he says yes so I ask him why he doesn’t save and the answer is “I never really think about it.”
You never think about it??? Whoa! But you like money right? Ritchie says “Yep. I like having it a lot.” I say, you talk about being wealthy all of the time. I don’t get it, how do you never think about it? Ritchie says “it’s too hard to save money. It’s like working out and being in shape. The end results look so sexy but the sacrifice is too much to give up sometimes. It’s a hard thing to do and the results don’t tend to show immediately” Ritchie summed it up right there.
It just sucks! Being broke is no fun and it takes a lot of energy. Saving money is hard and takes focus. That’s why we’re here to add fun to the focus I guess. Soon I hope to travel the world evangelizing Ultimate Money Fight but for now I am a WITNESS to how bad life can suck without the proper tools. It sucks your energy, and you spend time away from your passion and dreams while the life gets SUCKED out of you.
