Let me explain. I do a lot of dumb things with my money. And, I’m always wishing that I had more money for guns… So, I had my friend who is a welder make me what I call a “Dumb Box”. It is about the size of a large shoe box with a small hole in it, but it is made out of some scrap 5/16 steel that he had lying around. Every time I think of buying something stupid, instead, I put the money in the Dumb Box. Or, I put the money in there for things that I usually buy, but don’t now. Like coffee. Every day I don’t buy coffee, I put two bucks in the box. Lunch? If I brown-bag lunch instead of buying it, $5 in the box. All the money in the box is my new rifle fund, and because it is money that I normally spend, I don’t miss it. This week alone I put almost $50 in there.
Next time you say “I wish that I could afford XYZ” look at what you spend your money on and I bet that there is more in your budget than you think.
Not lecturing, just a thought.
