Ok, now, let 's do it! Pull out your grocery list of items that the cashier will be ringing up. Once you 've pulled the list out, begin to check off each item on the list as the cashier scans it. Doing this, will disassociate the defeating conversations and actions brought on by the big bad cashier from a business standpoint. If the cashier talks about what you are doing, just answer their questions politely and whatever you do, do not be rude to the cashier as this can defeat you. Continue checking off the list as the cashier scans your items, continue doing this until the point of items getting bagged. If your check off procedure has been completed before the bagging procedure, instead of putting away the list and getting defeated by the cashier, write a few sentences at the bottom of the list about how happy you are to have checked off all the items on your list. This is a way to stay focused and to continue the overcoming process of that big bad
The role of money in people's day-to-day lives is quite amazing when it's put into perspective. The primary reason most Americans get up in the morning is so they can go out and make money. Money buys things; money influences people; money keeps us ali ve; money makes us happy. Or does it? In Fences, by August Wilson, the Maxtons get their money when Gabe's head is shot in the war. In A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansbury, the Younger family gets their money when Walter's father dies.
“The Total Money Makeover” is radio star and financial speaker Dave Ramsey’s viewpoint, ideas and techniques on the financial world put into words that are not only simple, but super helpful to those seeking motivation in their financial lives. Throughout this book Dave Ramsey projects his attitude on how to begin a debt free life.

The notion that people can live without money, and be content without money, is not a new concept. Countless people in the world believe that money is potentially damaging our society today.Many books have been written, and numerous studies have been concurred; which describe individuals that come from a life of wealth; that eventually strive to abandon its monetary values due to money 's influence and corruption, such as Chris McCandless from Into The Wild. Society today is driven by money, as we are constantly trying to achieve wealth and a higher status than others; even at a young age. These pressures of money may actually be what what is causing so much stress and anxiety, and is constantly shaping how our brains function. Books such as
The authors, Brad and Ted Klontz, show that money is identified as a major source of stress in our lives. “In a modern, industrialized society, money is one of the only things that touches on and impacts each and every one of our needs”. Money is not only essential to get our basic needs met, it is also very closely linked to emotional needs such as success, love, acceptance, security, atten¬tion, and the two are often inseparable.

The book I chose to review for this course is titled, “The Millionaire Next Door”, by Thomas J. Stanley, Ph.D., and William D. Danko, Ph.D. After learning that it was published in 1996, prior to the widespread availability of the internet, and subsequent ebusiness boom, I was slightly sceptical that the information held within might not be relevant for someone like myself trying to thrive in today’s chaotic economy. Fortunately, I was wrong. The Millionaire Next Door is full of concepts and principles that put into perspective how we view money and status in our society, and also debunks the myth that America’s wealthy are the ones doing most of the spending while living elaborate and carefree lives. There are several ‘takeaway’ principles that are presented to the reader. I will be focusing on the five concepts and ideas that impacted me the most.

Money is what buys people's dreams, it runs the world. People love money so much they work 40 hours a week to get it. They give up seeing their families so they can work to pay for them to live. People do this for the majority of their lives, from the ages of 20 - 60 years old in the hope of their retirement. Money controls everything in people's lives, their happiness, their presentation, and their futures. People may control how they get their happiness, but their employers decide how much they get.
Being successful at budgeting our personal finances is not strength within our household, and I often find myself nervous thinking about our cash flow. I don’t recall having conversations with my parents concerning finances; I only remember learning to balance a checkbook while in high school. Considering that most Americans will have the need to create a budget and manage their finances at one point of their adult life, I feel that a series of personal finance classes should be a part of a high school education. In these tough economic times, I’ve learned that having a handle on our personal finances is not a luxury – it’s a requirement. Therefore, making money while effectively managing and tracking how you spend it is closely related to stress levels and living a comfortable life.
When people need groceries or essentials they will get into their car and go to the store.One thought people have on there way to the store is running into the annoying shoppers that make shopping seem like a burden. There are the people who have their cart parked into the aisle, the parents with their kids screaming for no reason, and the people who are at checkout digging through their bags for several coupons.

If you don’t balance your budget and spend more than you make, you will have financial problems. Many people don’t realize that they spend more than they earn and slowly sink deeper into debt every year.
