In fact, those of us with an inclination to be obsessive struggle to overcome our obsessions. But hold on a minute! Being compulsive -- easi- ly addicted and slightly obsessive -- can be a good trait if channeled in the right direction. Don't forget that com- pulsive people have the best personali- ties, are driven to accomplish great things, and bring a little sparkle to humanity. When it comes to spending, com- pulsive inclinations can be deadly. But saving compulsively can become a good addiction and, if nurtured, can replace bad spending habits. Saving money can be as addictive as smoking, drinking or overeating! Here are four golden rules for becoming a compulsive saver: 1) Do it now. If you wait to save until you get a raise or pay off your debts, you never will start. Nothing to save? Start cutting expenses, and save the difference. You can get started with any amount, even with as little as a dol- lar. In fact, why don't you start right now? Identify a place to stash your "savings," and pull out a dollar bill. Put it there now. If you can make that $5, $10 or $20, all the better. You can start your savings in an envelope, in a drawer or on a shelf. The point is to identify a place where you will deposit more money, regularly. 2) Enter into an auto- matic savings program. Your bank will help you save by making automatic deposits from your checking account into your savings program. If you have a payroll savings plan where you work, sign up today! If you have a comput- er, consider opening an online savings account at http://www.INGdirect.com. Your savings will be FDIC- insured; there are no fees or minimums to get started; and you'll have access to your account 24/7. Determine the amount you will automatically transfer regular- ly to your savings. Now you won't have to try to remember to make manual deposits. 3) Pay yourself first. Ten percent of becoming an addictive saver. The secret to success is paying your savings account first. If you wait until you pay everyone else, you'll come out on the short end of the stick; you never will get started, because there never will be anything left over to save. 4) Live with cash. If you Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate can't afford to pay cash, you can't afford it. Make that your new motto for 2011. Living on credit, writing bad checks, and demanding to have it now and pay for it later will surely sabotage any plans you have to become a compulsive saver. Leave your check- book and plastic at home. Take just enough cash to cover your needs for the day and watch how your spending habits will change! Mary Hunt is the founder of everything you make is yours to save before you pay your bills or spend your paycheck. If you can make this an unbending and nonnegotiable routine, you will be well on your way to www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including her latest, "Can I Pay My Credit Card Bill With a Credit Card?"
