Are You A Shopper or Consumer?

Daily writing prompt
How does your mindset affect your financial success?

This is easy.

If I seek instant gratification by spending money on impulse (a shopper), without following a monthly budget or thought for the future, I might land myself in debt by living beyond my means while not planning to have money set aside for retirement.

If I slow down, create a monthly budget to live within my income, think about what I want to buy and do a bit of research on it (consumer) and set aside money for retirement, I might be financially secure.

I admit, I am a bit of both.

Sometimes I do research on a purchase, other times Amazon makes it easy with one click of a button.

We have fixed assets for our future, and follow a budget.

So, we will be okay.

S, 🌻
