Summer’s here, and those “yes” moments are everywhere – weekend getaways, concert tickets, dinner invitations, and vacation upgrades. But before you swipe that card, pause and borrow a page from successful entrepreneurs who ask strategic questions before committing to anything new.
Just like business decisions, every financial “yes” should pass a test. The Entrepreneur article’s framework translates perfectly to money management: Does this expense align with my financial goals? Do I have the bandwidth (budget) for this commitment? What’s the real cost – including opportunity cost of not investing that money? Will this bring genuine value to my life, or am I just caught up in FOMO? Most importantly, what would I have to sacrifice to make this happen? These questions help distinguish between impulsive spending and intentional choices that enhance your financial wellbeing.
Your summer doesn’t have to break the bank to be memorable. Take a moment to read the full Entrepreneur article below and consider how these decision-making strategies could transform your approach to money. Share it with friends who might benefit from a mindful spending framework this season.
