Practice the 3 Rs of money

Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, March 24, 2008

So you have your first job and are finally making your own money. But you are on the brink of drowning in student-loan and credit-card debt. What happened to the idea of earning money and spending it on fun things? Well, that idea is not completely out of reach-it just requires some planning.

Practice the 3 Rs of money: reality, responsibility, and restraint.

  • Reality: Recognize that unless you strike it rich, which is highly unlikely, you will have limited amounts of time and money to use.
  • Responsibility: If you handle your money wisely, you can do a lot of good for yourself and others. But, it's your own fault if you blow your money.
  • Restraint: Learn delayed gratification. Have the self-control to save your money for a future goal instead of spending it now.
