Fool's Gold Shores

One of the biggest problems people run into with their spending is not being able to see the bigger picture. When you decide to get fast food for lunch, you think, “Hey, it’s only seven dollars!” But what you fail to realize is that you’ve done this once a week, every week, for the past five years. Those seven dollars per week adds up. In a month it’s twenty-eight dollars. In a year it’s Three-hundred and thirty-six dollars. In five years it’s well over fifteen hundred dollars. Think about that! Fifteen hundred dollars over the course of five years seemingly wasted on processed meats and grease. The amount can be staggering if you’re not paying attention. That same fifteen hundred dollars could have been used to repair your car when the brakes went out. It could have been used for that emergency dental work that you desperately needed, but couldn’t afford right away.

Whether we just don’t realize the scope of our spending habits or whether we are just willfully ignorant to them, it’s time to stop. Wasteful spending, no matter what the Kardashians are trying to tell you, is no longer chic. Frugality and savings are the new hot lifestyle choices, and that’s why we at The Frugality Game are so pleased to help you make that informed choice with the help of a little application we like to call “Fool’s Gold Shores”.

Lifted directly from the full version of The Frugality Game (www.thefrugalitygame.com) Fool’s Gold Shores allows you to see the long term consequences of your spending, whether good or bad. Using the app, you can enter in an amount that you spend per week or month on a variety of categories, which will then be calculated out for you to see how much you would spend over one and five years. This will give you a perfect idea of just how much money you’re spending on different areas within your finances. Download now to get started!
