Forget the whole I can’t afford it line!!! Priceless! I’m right there with you.

I started buying stocks in companies I used often like Apple, M.A.C. Cosmetics, Macys and Amazon.

Good job!!!

I have started using “It’s not in my budget right now”. And if whatever it is, is that important then I make my budget work for it. Having that shift in mindset has been literally life altering.

As soon as you get over the investing scaries, you can get to the good stuff. :)

The phase I used at the end of the lecture was “Skip one dinner and give $25 to cancer research.” If we all only skipped going out one time and stayed home and had sandwiches instead, we could raise millions for cancer research. We usually had more donations that night than the group had given in the prior two years.

Having enough money is not usually our problem. Allocating our money to the things that matter is where we falter. We do have enough to invest, we just choose to spend it instead.

Plus some of the SP 500 funds, most likely already has all the stocks you favor within the fund. Good post, I made a similar one a while back.

They created a petites line so I’m wearing Express jeans now. Ordered online, of course, though. I’m not going to the mall! ;)

Along with buying ethically, I buy the stock of any product that I like enough to use regularly and where I like the way they run their business (sustainable) and treat their employees (ethical!).
