"If you buy what you don’t need, you steal from yourself."
– Swedish
This is a great saying that you don’t hear enough, because it’s absolutely true. When you buy something you don’t need today, it’s the future you that will suffer. Or, to put it another way, spending money on today’s wants means you might not be able to afford tomorrow’s needs.
Even if you feel financially secure right now, that might not last forever, so you should still be cautious with your money. Money, like everything, is finite. What you spend today won't be available tomorrow.
