Mon, 22 Dec 2008 05:03:03 +0000 http://www.bluntmoney.com/impatience-is-the-enemy-of-prosperity/#comment-46189 I love the sentiment of this post. I have had my share of impatient moments in relation to money. One way to remain financially conscious is to actually consider what you're buying before you buy it or consider what you're spending and why. I have to ask myself why this purchase is important and give myself a few days to get over the initial "I want, I want" phase if it's a really big purchase. Budgeting also forces me to think about purchases over time because as I get out of debt, I can't spend like I used to and everything has to be budgeted. Kimmy B.

Looking for the quick easy money seems like a great trip, but the reality is it doesn't come easy. Sure there are the 1 in a million person examples, but the normal person that doesn't happen to. People need to sometimes play it safe in order to make it big down the road, stay patient. Impatience deals with the fact that we are greedy by nature.

I'm reading "The Snowball" and he has trouble parting with his money because he knows what he can grow it to if he invests it. He didn't want to buy a house for the longest time because he didn't see it as a $100,000 investment, he saw it as a million dollar loss.
