Enemies toward financial freedom

i came accros an article posted by fitz villafuerte, i would like to keep this to remind me.
Impulse Buying
Through the years, I have changed from an impulsive buyer to a frugal shopper. It took some time and a lot of personal motivation but I was finally able conquer this bad habit. If I was able to do it, I don’t see any reason why you can’t. Whenever I’m faced with an urge to buy something unplanned, I usually pause and ask myself several questions first. These simple dialogue with myself has become a powerful tool for me and I hope it will be for you too.
Inflation
Inflation hurts people particularly those in fixed incomes like the elderly and those whose income isn’t indexed to inflation. They lose a part of their purchasing powers because their cashflow remains constant while their cost of living increases. Employed individuals, despite receiving constant salary increments, are hurt because there is a time lag in compensation adjustments. By the time they receive higher nominal income, it has already been months since the prices of commodities went up.
Procrastination
Procrastination simply refers to the habit of putting off doing something for a later time. Filipinos are more familiar to the term mañana habit, which is often translated to Tagalog as “mamaya na” (much later). Aside from the definition, it is also necessary to learn why we often choose to procrastinate. Is it simply because we are too lazy to act or is it something much deeper? More importantly, how do we get rid of this bad habit? What is the best way to really overcome procrastination?
Fear of Taking Risks
A simple video which tells the story of my first burn (a term that refers to the first time a person will spin a fire poi). I can still vividly remember that night when I learned how to face my fears and got the courage to take the risk. I hope that this will inspire you to likewise do the same in your life.Inflation
