When you ask your­self: How to save money?

Here is a lit­tle series of posts which cover the most Goo­gled ques­tions on the inter­net. Most of these ques­tions I will not be able to ans­wer here, although I can offer a res­ponse if I hap­pen to have one. The main idea of this series is to have a bit of fun dis­cus­sing why people ask these ques­tions so often.

First­ly, I think it’s fun to look at the mea­ning of these words. In English they use the word ‘save’ to illus­trate the concept of being care­ful with money, and this makes sense consi­de­ring that what we are trying to do is to not exchange some­thing that we own, in return for some­thing that we would not bene­fit from. I mean, look at how we use the same word ‘was­ting’ for was­ting money or was­ting time…

In French we have deci­ded to use the verb ’to eco­no­mise’. We can see straight away that this word shares its roots with the word ‘eco­no­my’. Although in English you can trans­form near­ly any word into a verb, I think that ‘eco­no­my’ poses a pro­blem. The proof? It is not used as a verb!

Any­way, if we are loo­king for a simple res­ponse to today’s ques­tion, a good place to start would be not basing your self esteem and worth on your pos­ses­sions. Once this is taken care of you can start to reduce your expen­di­ture on things which are no lon­ger of value to you. At the end of the day you basi­cal­ly need to make sure that you have fewer out­goings than inco­mings. We must remem­ber that money attracts money, and so the more you save, the more you will accu­mu­late over time. It is a basic prin­ciple of life.
