Are we a generation of spendthrifts? What do you spend on? How do you spend?

What do you spend on??

I would speak from my point of view, from the thoughts I have gathered from around me, from the experiences I have seen people go through, and so I would like your candid opinion on this issue.

Some see the art of spending this way:

• Get the money
• Think of something new you didn't have in your old financial state
• Acquire them
• Think of the tastiest food to crave for, and go get it
• Probably pay tithe, if he or she is a Christian
• Give some out to family and friends
• Find some new clothes to buy

He does all this in a spate of just 3 days to a week of landing some cool cash.
And after the first week, when it looks so much like the money is almost spent, thats when he begins to think; wow I have a few hundreds or tens left. Why don't I put some down somewhere to fall back on in times of need?

I believe the very first thing one should possibly think of if when he lays hold of some cash should be; How much of this can I put aside? How much of this can I conveniently lay aside in a place where it would multiply overtime?

(IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DISCIPLINE BABY)
And if that's what we should actually be doing... how can we be able to discipline ourselves such that we are able to toe this line of commitment?
Of course, if you're someone who has 1000's coming through to you every day, or two, you may not be on the kinda red alert some of us are on, and your flexibility in spending could be compromised on, a bit.

But for those who hardly get even a few 100's in a week, y'all had better sat up to the challenge, adopt a new spending habit, cos trust me, as you age, your needs and responsibilities can only go up!!!!
