I agree “We deserve it” is a big one for a lot of people. I still fall into it myself once in a while.

Ray,

Very good point. If you start out with a unrealistic goal you are likely going to fail.

But I always stress REALISTIC goal setting and then sticking to it. This doesn't always work, but it does 90% of the time make things easier.

We deserve to buy X. I guess you could lump this into being inconsistent. There is also always something around the house that needs replacing.

We’ve saved $X for the past X months. We deserve to buy X.

I guess you could lump this into being inconsistent. There is also always something around the house that needs replacing.
