This is so true. I used to think that spending money made me happy – and it did, but only temporary. Being debt free is so much more rewarding than anything I could ever buy.

In reply to Erin @ Gen Y Finances. Keeping tabs on your spending is the best way to overcome this. You could also make note, through a picture or saying that will help you to stop and think for a minute when you are buying food and/or alcohol. That will help you to remember all of the other times you spent money on these things and will hopefully help you cut back some of the spending.

In reply to Kali @ CommonSenseMillennial. It's certainly not easy to accept setbacks. But you have to make it a point to change the negativity of setbacks into a positive. The more you can focus on the positive, the better off you will be.

I find that public accountability helps me most. The more people who know what I’m trying to do, the more I feel responsible to myself AND them. Plus it creates a larger support network cheering me on to reaching my goal.

My bad financial habit is letting money slip through the cracks unnoticed. I really don’t think I spend that much on food and alcohol until I sit down and add it all up. Little trips here and there add up to a lot of money! It’s a constant battle, but I’m working on it.

I know I need to work on accepting setbacks. I get really down on myself sometimes – I know I need to be more positive and focus on everything I’ve done well or achieved, instead of dwelling on the stuff that didn’t go so well.
