Everyone tries to save money at some point. Whether you are working extra hours and know a little bit more cash is coming your way, or its summer and you're a broke college student trying to save up for money to live off next semester. You expect it to be so easy but saving money is a lot harder than it looks. You can't say no to pizza take out for the 5th night in a row with all your friends right?
1. Whenever someone suggests take out.
How can you pass up Chinese food or pizza with my friends?! You just can't! It's impossible!
2. When the coffee maker is acting up again.
I CAN"T AFFORD DUNKIN DONUTS EVERY DAY! Why must the coffee maker break? This must be the universe conspiring against me so that I cannot save money.
3. All of your friends are going to yet another concert.
"Fine! I'll go." After missing out on the first two, you can't help but whip out that credit card. You're starting to feel like a soccer mom between camp counseling and sitting at home drinking wine on a Friday night, you need a little more fun and excitement.
4. Going to the bar on a Friday night.
"I'll just have a beer, I'm really trying to save money." We have all uttered that sentence on the way to go out with our friends. But we also know that is never the case. With your friends as the great influencers they are you are going to have much more than one beer.
5. When talk of friend vacations comes up.
No! Please don't go, not without me, I cant handle seeing the posts on Facebook and and Snapchat. Why do I need a job, why do I need to save money?
6. Finally giving up.
Everyone just take my money! You can always make more money, but you don't want to miss out on an amazing time with your friends. FOMO is real, and it is the killer of bank accounts.
