Practice the Pause Prior to Making a Purchase

Learn why you should practice the pause prior to making a purchase and how it can help you make better spending decisions.

Have you ever bought something on a whim that sounded like a good idea in the moment, only later to find out it wasn’t quite what you were looking for?

Early in our lives, my wife and I had a penchant for purchasing exercise equipment. Back then we thought that instead of buying a gym membership, we could purchase a few pieces of home gym equipment and workout from home.

The idea was ok in theory and we still use some of the equipment we purchased, but the first piece of equipment we purchased, an expensive elliptical, very rarely got used.

How to Calculate Your Real Hourly Wage (and Why You Should)

Learn how to calculate your real hourly wage.

Like many of you, I was first introduced to the concepts of calculating your real hourly wage and trading your time (or life energy) for money in the book, Your Money or Your Life.

If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. You should be able to find a copy at your local library. If you can’t find it, ask your librarian to request a transfer from a library in-network.

One of the main tenets of the book, is that we all have a finite amount of life energy. That life energy is equivalent to our time on this earth or, in other words, the time that we’re alive.

When we go to work to earn an income, we are essentially trading that time for the money we receive from working.

To get the most out of our time, we should strive to make the highest wage, right?

The short answer is yes, but it shouldn’t just be your highest hourly wage. It should be your highest real hourly wage.
