I used to think that if I buy things it'll improve my quality of life and make things easier for me, and in a way it does, however, I keep buying the wrong things, Im buying for now, and not for the future.
There are several things that I have bought which have been for the future such as a decent high spec laptop, and a decent phone which will last me a while, but other than that, the other stuff I have purchased, and Im on about the expensive stuff as well as the cheaper stuff, I've bought because I wanted it and thought that it'll help me with daily tasks. Now that's all fine, but before I purchase them I think yeah thats a good idea buy that. So I do. Then when I actually have them I think, so how is this going to help me?
I need to learn to save.
I need to purchase more important things, such as driving lessons or a car, I need to save up for insurance too!
My main aim is to get driving which will make things so much easier but because Im impatient with buying things I find it difficult to do so, I tried saving up once to put some money aside for driving lessons, and then I spent it on something that wasn't as important and now I have not benefitted from that at all.
I need a way of keeping track of my goal and motivation to actually do it. I need to put money aside each month to build up my savings, not buy now and regret later.
But this is going to be difficult, and I know I have the strength and will power to do so if I put my mind to it, but Im struggling to put my mind to it at the moment...
