But, what if there was a way you could convince yourself not to spend so much money?<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tricks you can use to stop bleeding money in 2016.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Limit Your Use of Credit Cards<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you use a credit card it is easy for your brain to fool itself into thinking you\u2019re not using real money. This is why a lot of people manage to rack up a lot of credit card debt even though they wouldn\u2019t normally spend a lot of money. Instead, stop using your credit card and keep cash in your wallet.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Skip the ATM and Go to a Bank Teller<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another psychological trick you can use to keep yourself from spending too much money is avoid getting money out of the ATM. If you have to add the extra step of going inside the bank only during business hours you\u2019re less likely to spend what you have on you. Because the ATM starts with a debit card, it is also easy to associate it with free money.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Withdraw Money in Large Bills<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When you do approach the teller, ask them for the money in large denominations such as fifty or one hundred dollar bills. You are also far less likely to break a large bill for a small purchase which will make you rethink whether or not you need to buy that thing to begin with.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ask for New Money<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Also, ask for these large bills in brand new money. You won\u2019t want to spend the brand new money, or at least you think twice before parting with it. When you have old and worn bills in your wallet you\u2019re more likely to spend them because your brain wants to discard old things. You\u2019re more likely to keep something new for longer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About ProSource Staffing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our mission is to be the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prosourcepeople.com\/about-us\/\">staffing services provider<\/a><\/span> and employment agency of choice by helping people and companies achieve their goals.
