Don’t purchase things to make an impression
If someone is impressed by material things, then, that’s not the kind of person you should want around you. Peer pressure might be difficult to overcome, but it shouldn’t be, not when your life and future are at stake. Instead of trying to impress and keep up with the Joneses, do yourself a favor and put yourself first.
So, before you think of your immediate wants, consider how these might affect your future needs, says John Rampton, founder and CEO of Calendar. “Don’t waste your time on expensive cars or gadgets,” he adds. “It’s better to save money for the long-term and for things that can keep generating money, rather than taking (your) money.”
