With credit so easy to get, why would anyone want to save money and buy with cash? If you want something, you pull out the plastic and then pay it back with payments over who knows for how long.The unfortunate thing is that this sort of thinking is making sense to too many people these days.

Before you pay your bills or buy groceries, set aside a portion of your income to save. Thinking of personal savings as the first bill you must pay each month can really help you build tremendous wealth over time. By starting with a small amount like R350 each payday and using automatic payroll deductions, after a few months, you probably won't even notice the withdrawal.
