The following is an excerpt of David\u2019s interview in Top Coaching Techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ingrid: It\u2019s hard sometimes, especially if you have a young family. The needs of family, and perhaps the families of other people, make it difficult to even save a little bit. Can a little bit help?<\/p>\n

David: It can make a big difference. Saving $50 a week, instead of using $200 to go out, can change your outlook. Start with saving, so it is a practice. Most people pay all sorts of expenses and say, \u2018I\u2019ll save whatever is left over.\u2019 Do not try this at home. Your expenses will always expand to your income. Pick a goal, work out how much you need, and set a savings target. Then slash out expenses. First put in bank, and then live on the rest. Play a game called \u2018How to Live on the Rest\u2019.<\/p>\n

Client: That\u2019s like turning your savings on its head though.<\/p>\n

\n

David: It is. Right. \u2018Pay yourself first\u2019, I read once in a book. Put it directly into a bank account. It can be painful to slash expenses, but when you\u2019ve been putting $200 in the bank, and this is what we have to live on, it becomes a game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
