my financial peeks and valleys
I'm 20 years old and I've been desperatly trying to save for the past year to build my own house, unfortunatly life is more expensive then they tell you in school. I find myself constantly looking at my bank account and noticing a "peaks and valleys" pattern (average valleys looking alot deeper then the highest peaks). After reading this book I got alot out of managing my money. "appreciate and manage your good times" really snapped me into reality, when i do manage to end up on a financial peak I've become alot more cautious on my next purchases, regardless of how much I think I need it at that very moment. Because of this I have noticed that each month I have more and more money in the accounts. "following your sensible vision" also made saving alot easier...I actually searched online to find the perfect floor plan and printed it off, its now hanging on a peg board in my room at the apartment im in now.With all these little hints to keep me on track, I hope to start building my own house in the next 5 years
