This week, Austin and Bob begin an extensive series on savings strategies…but not from the standpoint you might expect. In fact, this first episode will explore different attitudes towards saving, from extreme penny-pinching to a more balanced approach, and why you might be causing more harm than good to your financial management if you save for the sake of saving. Instead, they talk about the importance of having a purpose and strategy behind saving and discuss the impact of early life experiences on one’s mindset about money. 

Key Quotes and Points Highlighted:

  1. Why You Need to Be Purposeful with Saving:

Saving money should be done with a clear purpose and strategy in mind, rather than simply saving for the sake of it. Whether it’s for emergencies, future goals, or protection, having a specific reason for saving helps ensure financial stability and growth.

  1. Having a Balanced Approach:

There’s a spectrum when it comes to saving, ranging from extreme penny-pinching to a more balanced and intentional approach. It’s important to find a middle ground that allows for saving while still enjoying life and taking care of immediate needs.

  1. Early Life Experiences: 

One’s attitude towards money is often shaped by early life experiences and upbringing. However, as individuals mature, they have the power to shape their own financial mindset and behaviors, regardless of past influences. It’s essential to assess and adapt one’s approach to saving based on personal goals and circumstances.

“Savings done the right way creates abundance. Savings done the wrong way creates more scarcity.”

“Start where you’re at and examine your motives. Are you saving to create abundance or out of fear or scarcity?”

“Savings is a good thing if it’s done in a healthy manner, with intention, focus and purpose behind it”
