Exercising Financial Restraint Leads to Financial Security

By: William Blake

Just as physical exercise is essential in order to live a long, healthy life, exercising financial restraint will do wonders for your economic situation. While not easy, avoiding impulse buying, saving up your money until you are able to purchase something that you would like to buy instead of buying it on credit, or simply being content without something are all key steps to financial security.
Do you want to learn how to control your spending? Learn not to rely on your "plastic". Don't carry your debit cards and destroy your credit cards. Choose to pay for items with cash instead.
This one step that requires you to physically pass your money to another party is likely to have you rethinking purchases from the onset.
Set aside your money for specific purposes and only use if for those purposes. Some people go so far as to put it in separate envelopes (each one labeled for a different use like groceries, gas, rent, utilities, medical, etc). If you don't have money set aside for something you want to buy, then it is a good idea to wait until you do have money in that envelope.
Some people have found it helpful to create a specified period of time that they will wait before buying something. This period of time may vary from one to several days, with the longer period of time being preferable. Once the waiting period has been completed, you have enough money to buy the item, and you are still convinced you need it, buy it.
It is also a good idea to be accountable to someone, in most cases your marriage partner, although others prefer not to discuss financial matters with their mate . Don't hold anything back from this person. Give them detailed information about your economic situation. You need to be able to contact this person at any time knowing that they will be there to support you. In the moment that you feel like you are going to make an impulse buy, call them for some moral support.
The most important step is learning to avoid impulse buying so that you can carefully plan your purchases. This is the best way to be in a position to plan your financial future and how you will achieve your goals. Once you have developed financial restraint, you will be able to avoid buying things that don't fit into your plan.
While is isn't always easy to say no to things, by learning to exercise financial restraint and by getting the needed help from your accountability partner, it will quickly become second nature.
