Invest in yourself.

I recently listened to a news program that suggested that when you
get paid that you pay yourself first. When you set your budget for the
week you should take out a certain amount for yourself and then budget
for your bills from the balance. This way you have money available for
savings.
Saving money for emergencies is just as important as getting you bills paid.
If something should happen that you can not work you have to have money
available to pay bills and take care of your daily needs during this time period.
There is no reason for anyone to do without emergency money or even
day to day pocket money. We all go to work so that we can live but we
don't work to support someone other than ourselves. The bill collectors
love us to pay them but we must pay ourselves for all the hard work we
do.

Super post carol b. We do tend to forget about ourselves in the scheme of things. It is important to have some emergency cash and a little pocket money too. It is also important to do something special for ourselves once in a while. It doesn't have to be big or expensive. Treat yourself to a dinner out once in a while or buy a new outfit. If you don't, it can feel like everything you do is for nothing and you deserve to have a treat once in a blue moon!

This is a great idea i mean rally we do forget to invest in our selves and we need to remember that we are just as important as the other bills we pay i mean if we dont invest in our selves how are we going to be able to take our family on that special trip or vacation
