Rome wasn’t built in a day Arthur… and you didn’t accumulate your debt in a day – just keep it up man… slow and faithful.

Yes… it is very addicting, similar to spending too much, except after you’re done saving you don’t feel bad about it.

Wish I could save $5000… .I can’t get much past the $1000…. And I’ve been working two jobs for 4+ years. My car will be paid off soon. 4 months or so…. that will put more money back into the budget for saving… of course, I need to save for my next car to pay cash… so many things to save for, so little money to work with.

Saving money really is sexy again. My last article is entitled “Sometimes Saving Money Is About Principle” which captures the spirit of this post as well.

It’s addicting, watching the zeros grow in your bank account!

Best, Sam

I just did that today! making a list of things my husband and i want to save for, that is. everything i could think of, small or large, just so i could get an idea of what was out there and also what was most important. we are currently in the middle of paying off our credit card debt (gazelle style!) and it’s been exciting to think about saving up all the money we have been sending off to our lenders. thanks for a great post!

I like the reference to Joe Dominguez. I remember reading “Your Money or Your Life” a long time ago. Too bad, it didn’t stick with me at that time.

I needed the plainspeak of Dave Ramsey to get headed down this road.

All cultures go through cycles, your mental picture of Rome was accurate right before the collapse of their culture. The old virtues gave way to decadence and they could not endure without the virtues that enabled them to rise to power.

My first goal is to restore my EF which has been taking some hits this month (got a pay cut). Second goal is to pay down credit card debt. I haven’t gotten specific with amount of debt to pay down….gotta get that done. Good post.

Ha ha, you and me both! Well… I guess that’s not entirely true – I wasn’t always this way.

I don’t understand why the idea of saving money has such a stigma attached to it. I’ve always been more than happy to sock away my funds for a rainy day!

Funny that saving money was a Roman virtue as well. I picture them being very frivolous, extravagant, and short sighted, sort of like, well, Americans. Maybe if we start thinking of credit card companies as a sort of Nero or Caligula, it’ll motivate us to stop using credit even more.

savings is the only way to build wealth – not borrowing or printing money..look at all the cuts being made to school budgets because states has no emergency funds!

Savings is always a timeless value

The reality of Murphy visiting gives us all the more reason to save! I’ll take a $5,000 emergency fund over a $5,000 limit credit card every day and twice on Sundays.
