  • 52% of Americans are spending more than they earn

  • 1 in 4 Americans have more debt than savings

  • Average America spends $1.33 for each $1 earned

 

Causes of over-spending:

  • No budget

  • Spending is fun

  • Shop till you drop culture

  • Financial Stress

 

Solutions:

  • Budget.  Budge is not a bondage

  • Stick to budget

  • Live below your means

  • Appreciate what you have

  • Save for purchases

  • No is a complete sentence.  Learn to say NO
