As you take a close, hard and honest look at the things that you consider to be needs and wants, the choices and decisions may not, and in some cases, will not be easy. Those tough decisions will take having the right attitude, discipline and self control. It’s going to take an adjustment of how you see things, a sort of paradigm shift.

The things you thought were needs and are realized as wants, now have to be put off until you get yourself to the place where you can responsibly spend the money on purchasing those things. You have to remember that this is a temporary place to get yourself on the right track with your finances. As you give yourself some financial breathing room, you’ll be able to enjoy what was once a sacrifice.

If you live for having it all, what you have is never enough. –Vicki Robin

By taking the necessary steps toward adjusting your spending habits now, with patience, over time, you will be able to attain the things you want without the constant stress and anxiety of how you’re going to take care of your needs. As the saying goes with regards to physical health, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” can also go for your financial health.

Making some sacrifices now in the short term will be worth the financial freedom you’ll gain later in the long term! The mental and emotional choices that you’ll have to make between your needs and your wants will be difficult at first, but the reward of bringing your financial health back to life will make it surprisingly easier as you continue on.
