George Washington
The father of Washington needs no introduction. Washington had no model to copy when he became the first President of the United States. He undoubtedly had to do a lot of trial and error. He had to take risks and lay down a foundation for a brand new nation. Here’s a quote from Washington that’s relevant to us today:
"Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses."
People are full of excuses. Often times, laziness and procrastination are the biggest enemies of frugality. This MSN Money article goes into some of the reasons why people say they can’t save. Either money is too tight or they’ve got to pay off debt or they believe they’ll win the lottery and all their money problems will vanish. It may sound cliche, but the old saying has always been true: why put off until tomorrow what you can do today? If you don’t look for ways to save and carry out doable methods, you’ll waste unnecessary money. Don’t make excuses. Take a leaf out of Washington’s book.
