Steps For Implementing The 30-Day Rule
- Review your spending, taking an inventory of all your purchases. This provides a better understanding of where the money goes.
- Start to look at what all spending can be curbed (it will be a lot) and one can start small, like by not buying the candy at the grocery store while waiting in line, or not ordering pizza.
- After curbing junk food purchases, one can work towards clothes, shoes, video games, and the biggest culprit of them all: The Urge to upgrade your smartphone.
- Write down the item you feel like buying and place it where you can reflect on the purchase, setting yourself a goal of waiting 30 days.
- Stay committed and challenge yourself to buy debt-free whenever you can, after you wait 30 days.
