1% Better
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out ~ Robert Collier
Indeed it is! As we consider our money, small efforts add up over time (and small drips do too!) Rather than consider a major rework of your spending or saving, try the 1% better approach.
- Cut back your spending by 1% this month or
- Increase your savings by 1% this month or
- Increase your debt payments by 1% this month
Then keep doing that! Next month 1% more. Inch your way to success.
This is the season of benefits enrollment and updates for many companies. Take a look at your 401k or other retirement plan and increase the contribution by 1%. In 6 months, maybe you increase it by 1%.
Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still. ~ Chinese Proverb
Let’s not stand still with those money habits; let’s consistently grow slowly.
To your financial success (1% at a time)!
