How much money are you
wasting?
1) List all goods and services you buy in a month
2) List how much each good or service costs.
3) Ask yourself if you truly NEED each good or service. Then, write “need” next to the items you feel
that you must have.4) Add up all of the goods and services that do not have “need”
written next to them.5) That is how much money you DID
NOT need to spend for that month.
