If you’re used to be an impulsive spender, it takes time before you develop the discipline for your money management system.

However when the urge tempting you go back to your bad habit, you have to resort to money-saving tricks. Here are some suggestions:

If you let your weaknesses overwhelm you and don’t save, then you’re like Superman weakened by kryptonite.

If you find yourself using your credit often than usual, it’s must for you to watch the 2009 hit romantic comedy film Confession of a Shopaholic. This film, starring Isla Fisher and adapted from Sophie Kinsella’s novel, shows how your life would be if you treat your credit card like a magic card. Want some spoilers? The bad money habit of Rebecca Bloomwood (Fisher) makes her not so posh, serial liar, and experience devastating heart breaks.
