I bought things I didn't even need but as soon as I got paid anything I had left over after paying bills went toward cloths, fancy electronics, shoes, entertianment...I never saved a penny. When I met my husband I thought I want to spend my life with this guy, I want a home, I want a car, need to start saving something...so I saved up a down payment for our home in one year...then I became very interested in investing, retirement, and planning for the future....it all just clicked with me and I really started to take control of our financial lives to make a brighter future.
