It's tempting to consider that trip to the mall to be your daily workout, which is not only usually insufficient from a cardio point of view but puts a huge strain on your pocketbook. Excellent post!

As we get older we tend to lose the value of a dollar, because between friends, credit cards, savings accounts and investments there will always be more when we need it. By considering things in absolutes (like, "You're absolutely not getting any more money until next payday") we learn to appreciate the value of what we have.

However, what helped me more was to change the mental mindset that I had towards my money first. This allowed me to change multiple habits of mine at once. Once I took genuine ownership over my money and started treatingit as though it were really mine--all of the good spending habits fell into place. But again, a fantastic list! Great great sutff!
