后悔备忘录-更合理的安排支出Being more responsible with spending更合理的安排支出

In order to invest in our retirement¹ or save for that down payment, we would have needed to make wiser financial spending choices.

 

Things like buying or holding on to that perfectly² reliable used car, instead of splurging on the new model…because we could,eating out less and saving for a house instead, buying fewer shoes and purses and clothes and paying off student loans sooner.

 

So many saving opportunities lost, money spent on tangible³ things, instead of on the future.
