Financial security – it is every entrepreneur, every investor’s dream. It is why people now would rather pay now, play later, the mindset that calls one to earn, save, and then multiply money today while setting aside fleeting pleasure. There are those, due to conventional wisdom, who would drastically reduce spending to save enough money, but a better way to grow wealth is to just develop smart spending habits that will help augment savings without completely depriving fun.

Avoid financial sinkholes: Some expenses do not add value to one’s life, like vices, unneeded products or services, overdraft fees and credit interests, and these should definitely be shunned.
Be conservative on lifestyle expenses: Vacations, technology, clothes, family occasions – these are a few expenses that are also significant to one’s life. They are sources of joy and can help in enjoying the journey to financial security. These though should be managed well to make sure that money is not wasted on trivial expenses.
Prioritize emergency funds: With all the uncertainties around, safeguarding one’s health, family, property, and productivity should be a priority. Emergency money and insurances should not be neglected in preparation for anything that could happen.

Spend on rainmaking expenses: These are expenses that enable and teach one to earn more money. Investing in new businesses or the stock market is a smart way to spend money because the income that will be incurred from it can be much greater than what was paid out. The venture should be well studied and thought out, and not something that is impulsively dove into. By wisely investing saved money on productive expenses, financial security can be easily attained.
