peso pinching

i have realized that there is very little that i can do to increase my inflow(income). therefore, i have decided to decrease my outflow(expenses) in order to save money. this is a real challenge for me since i'm a very extravagant person. i like to indulge myself because i believe that i deserve everything i get and vice-versa. i realized that if i'm really serious about being rich, i should start right now. i should make it a habit to save as much money as i can. someone said (i think its ted turner) that the first million is the hardest to make after that, money will keep flowing to you. if that's the case then i want to start making that one million now.*

i know i'm very materialistic but i think its just being practical (...and ambitious).*
