Consistency is key.

5. Avoid Credit Cards

Trust yourself before you spend yourself.

In other words:

- Trust yourself with credit cards
- Don't get knee-deep in debt

Practice discipline and self-control.
6. Divide your Monthly Income Per Day

- Break it down into days
- Set a spending cap

The daily spending cap could apply to:

- Entertainment
- Groceries
- Supplies
- Travel

Religiously stick to that spending cap.
7. Managing Commission Income

The key here is to:

- Aggressively save at the beginning of the year
- Use your lowest-income month as a baseline
- Use that baseline as your spending cap
- Use the extra money to invest

A conservative player can win big in the game of finance.
