During tough times, penny pinching comes back in style. Although living cheap is no fun, the discipline can pay off over time. Sometimes people may think that a better idea would be to just simply earn more, but I have a question for those people: What good is it to earn more if you spend more? What good is your higher income if the percentage you spend, relative to your income is the same in proportion when your income was lower? In this post, I will give compelling reasons to save, why debt does matter, why keeping more income is always better than spending more, and knowing how to spend in order to build wealth for any income level.

There’s an old saying – ‘the higher you go, the harder you fall.’ If you are following a strategy to build your wealth quickly, you have a much higher risk of things going wrong and potentially of losing everything. Risk and return go together, so unless you are prepared to take a chance or two your wealth will grow only slowly. Safe and secure works for some people, but others are impatient and have big plans. Neither approach is wrong; it’s what is right for you that counts and everybody has a different view about what is right for them.
