A penny saved is a penny earned. - Benjamin Franklin
Each morning, it gets a little harder to turn on the morning news to hear more about our worsening economy. A gallon of gas is now over $4.00 in San Francisco, and more people are getting laid off from work. The economy is in the tank, and it just doesn't seem to be anywhere near a rebound anytime soon.
Few of us are Rockefellers when it comes to making and growing money. Aside from our relationships to those we've loved and/or lost along the way, many of life's regrets are about money -- money making opportunities missed, money ill invested, money lost, or money wasted.
Life events can turn on a dime. Learning to save money for not only a rainy day, but for a brighter future takes planning, and a change of mindset. Many of us wrestle with our mindsets and habits about making money, investing money, and saving money for the better parts of our adult lives. I know I do.
In hard times and good times, that penny saved earns you so much more than interest: it earns you peace of mind.
And, peace of mind is truly priceless.
