Saving money, as a way of life, is the goal of Millionaire Nurses. This does not mean constantly thinking about ways to take advantage of others. This does not mean negotiating with the lemonade salesman (the cute 8 year old down the street) for a better price on your refreshing drink.
Saving money daily, just means being aware of your long and short-term goals, and when confronted with spending choices, take a minute and be sure the choice fits your plans.
Just to give you a few examples in my life today: I had to go to the hospital to see a patient ready for discharge. No emergency, just a routine visit. I got on my bicycle, rode the three miles to the hospital-saving money on gas as well as getting my exercise for the day.
Another example-I needed (wanted) different music for my aerobic exercise. I received a Sansa Mp3 player for Christmas last year-nothing fancy. It had been awhile since I loaded anything different on it. I looked on the net for free downloads of exercise music and found the site: Podrunner. This site has free downloads, that contain a brief commercial message that allows you to choose between different speeds of aerobic exercise. The downloads are free. They also have a pay version, and newsletter that you can sign up for.
This download was perfect for me to use while exercising on the 20-year-old cross-country ski machine I have at home, or the elliptical trainer I use at the local YMCA.
These are just two examples of ways you can save money daily, while not feeling as if you are being a skin-flint.
