MY AMISH MONEY MAKEOVER

The Amish say no to themselves on a regular basis. If they wore T-shirts with words on them, they could proudly wear “Don’t Eat the Marshmallow” emblazoned over their thrifty hearts. They focus instead on the big picture, and the result is loads of un-frittered money in the bank.

To Do: Check out your bank statement and see how much money you simply fritter away on impulsive little things. Think about what kinds of impulsive purchases trip you up on a regular basis. Vow to kick the marshmallows in their cushy hind ends.
