Don't Buy Stuff You Cannot Afford

How do you manage to stay out of debt? Simple - don't buy stuff you haven't already saved up for. While this sound like something to be filed under the folder marked "Duh", it's amazing how many people don't follow it (hey - in an earlier life, I was one of them).

Here's a great Saturday Night Live skit by Steve Martin titled "Don't Buy Stuff You Cannot Afford" (it's on Salon.com - just click through the adds). Here's another version with no ads, but you have to have the Flash player installed.

I have to go teach my undergrads in a few minutes - I think I'll play it for them. It couldn't hurt, and it might actually do some good.

Investing online has been a main source of income,that's why knowledge plays a very important role in humanity,you don't need to over work yourself for money.All you need is the right information,and you could build your own wealth from the comfort of your home!Binary trading is dependent on timely signals,assets or controlled strategies which when mastered increases chance of winning up to 90%-100% with trading. It’s possible to earn $10,000 to $20,000 trading weekly-monthly,just file a complaint with  Robert,I had almost given up on everything about binary trading and ever getting my lost funds back,till i met with him,with his help now i have my lost funds back to my bank account and I can now trade successfully with his profitable strategies and software!!
