Prioritize saving over spending from "summary" of Manage Your Money Like a F*cking Grown-Up by Sam Beckbessinger
When you're trying to get your money shit together, saving should always come before spending. Yes, I know it's not as fun as blowing your entire paycheck on a new pair of shoes or a fancy dinner, but trust me, future you will thank present you for having a fat stack of cash saved up for emergencies. Think of saving as investing in your own financial security. It's like planting seeds in a garden - the more you save now, the more you'll have to harvest later. And let's be real, life is full of unexpected expenses that can pop up out of nowhere and drain your bank account faster than you can say "Oh shit". By prioritizing saving over spending, you're setting yourself up for success in the long run. You'll have a safety net to fall back on when shit hits the fan, and you'll be able to achieve your financial goals without constantly worrying about how you're going to pay for them. So the next time you're tempted to blow your hard-earned cash on something frivolous, stop and ask yourself if it's really worth sacrificing your financial security for. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later for making the smart choice. Save first, spend later. Your future self will thank you.
