Everything in moderation. EVERYTHING.
How you spend your money and divy up the budget is no exception. Sammy the saver is good at stocking away a down payment and retirement, but he's a bit of a tightwad when it comes to day-to-day expenses. Stew the spender is good at throwing lavish parties and taking instagram-worthy vacations, but he struggles with putting the shackles on his wallet.
Whether prone toward saving or spending, try erring on the unnatural side just for a bit. There are benefits to spending money and benefits to saving money, and you'll never know the other side until you give it a whirl.
When it comes down to it, money is just a tool. Once we learn the finer points of spending, saving, and making our money grow, then we'll have the foresight to know when it's appropriate to tip with a $20 bill and when we should skip the out-to-eat meal altogether.
Cheers in your money spending and saving!
