    Default i changed my affirmation

    i changed my affirmation from "I create prosperity and abundance for me and my household" to

    "I create prosperity, abundance, and savings for me and my household."

    i was creating prosperity and abundance, but i wasn't saving any money.

    prosperity = 1. a successful, flourishing, or thriving condition, especially in financial respects; good fortune.
    2. prosperities, prosperous circumstances.

    abundance =
    1. an extremely plentiful or oversufficient quantity or supply: an abundance of grain.
    2. overflowing fullness: abundance of the heart.
    3. affluence; wealth: the enjoyment of abundance.

    the LDS method is working for me, better than the other methods that tried. refrrain from debting, 10% to tithe, 10% to savings/debt repayment, and 10% to retirement.
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    "i create prosperity, abundance, and savings for me and my household"

    I totally am a believer in the power of affirmations! I realized I've been doing a lot better in my attitude and my actual savings when I would focus more on the positive: "I am bring abundance and prosperity in my life in my daily actions for my long term goals" instead of "If I don't get it together and stick to my budget I'm going to fail in my goals" the latter made me so stressed, and sure enough- I focused on the little failures!

    Now I still slip up, but I see even those as progress towards a goal because I'm learning something from them!

    I also found that blogging and posting on here has helped a lot too! Best of luck to you!
