MAJOR'S MESSAGE

DIVINING DOLLARS

Every day I hear people complain about needing more money. And every day, I try to explain that the universe has all the money anyone ever needs. The trick to acquiring that money is to first get out of your own way, and second to do things that show you have a respect for what having money does to your lifestyle in the world of today. You have to free up your thinking and take certain action to make way for abundance. You also have to realize that money is energy. If you learn how to work that energy, you can create more for yourself! Here are some ways to accomplish that:

Paycheck - Take a portion (what you can afford) of your paycheck each week and put it aside just for you. In this way you are paying yourself first. Open up a savings account with this money. Do not use it for bills. Diligently do this each pay period. This is one of the most powerful ways to create money energy.

Coupons - many people today shy away from the coupon clipping activity because they think it's supposed to be for people who DON'T have money. That could not be further from the truth. Ever time you use a coupon you are creating MORE money to come your way. The more you use them, the more filled your wallet will be. This not only saves you immediate money, but it will increase your financial situation to the positive by anywhere from $100.00 to $1,000.00 each month, depending on your purchases.

Coin Collection: When you need to break that dollar, take the change and put it into a bank or jar at home. Within a month you will see an increase of anywhere from $30.00 to $300.00, depending on your income and how you use your "change."

Sales: Take advantage of these when appropriate. Not everything is a "sale" and many items you paid less for may not last as long as if you had paid top dollar. Be cost-effective, but be wise about it as well. Common sense dictates here.

Discounts: Another blessing from above, but proceed with the same awareness or caution as with "sales."

Removing clutter: Yes, this very act rewards you by giving you badly needed space and may tidy you up, but it also serves to make way for more blessings in your life.

Finally, when you go shopping for anything, bring a list and make sure you purchase only what you "need" and not what you "want." You will be amazed at the hundreds of dollars you can save with this mindset.
