Every expense is a trade for something else. What you do today either gets you closer to your milestone or trades that milestone for what you want in the moment. ~ Kim Anderson, Live. Save. Spend. Repeat. The Life You Want with the Money You Have
Are you in a constant battle to control your finances…so they don’t control you? It’s a common struggle. Most of us are trying to figure out how to realize our dreams at the same time we’re worried about the cost of that unexpected car repair.
In author Kim Anderson’s new book Live. Save. Spend. Repeat. The Life You Want with the Money You Have, she shows readers how to break out of the cycle of “work, spend, worry, repeat.” Is that a familiar cycle? I hear you.
Will you ever get that dream vacation (Or any vacation that takes you beyond your own county?) Will you ever pay off those credit cards or student loans and be free of exhausting debt? There is no quick fix, but Anderson demonstrates through checklists, charts, and encouragement how to tweak your spending and adjust your attitude about where those hard-earned dollars of yours should go.
