“If you buy what you don’t need, you steal from yourself.” – Swedish

The Swedish are famously known for suggesting that if you purchase goods or services, you truly do not need, you are taking money away from yourself. This is termed as “stealing” from yourself. Essentially you rob yourself of meeting your goals, building an emergency fund, future growth, investments, and financial security.

If you choose to spend money on the latest gadgets, which you don’t absolutely need, you deprive yourself of the ability to save and invest. You may end up borrowing to meet your emergency and your operational cash flow needs. This quote urges you to spend responsibly for today, tomorrow, and future survival.
