Spending money to save money sounds a lot like investing. The thing with investments is, you have to discount the future income into the present.

People are frightened for a reason as all investments involve a risk.

Net Present Value calculations might seem like overkill, but the concept is still an important one.

Hi Ramit,

Excellent. I have been a member of your site for the last one month, but this one suggestion has impressed me a lot i.e., to have a budget and spend some money to save money. I am a versatile reader and have been reading the books of Dale Carnegie(How to Stop Worrying & Start living, How to win friends and influence people, How to enjoy your Job and worklife, Public Speaking); Dave Ramsey(My Total Money Make Over & others); Rich Dad & Poor Dad series; Stephen R Covey’s Seven Habits & First Things First and a lot more time management and personality developmet books.

By reading your suggestions for the first one month, I thought they were not of much of a use – which were all focused on saving tips. But today’s post changed my opinion on you. Good work. Keep it up.

There are other ways to spend $$ to save $$ than buying books. I just bought a new house last summer w;th a big yard. I’m spending money on gardening supplies so I can grow some of my own food. I’m hoping to break even this year and make a “profit” next year.
I think a “victory garden” is a good thing to spend money on.
I’m lucky enough to have the space to be able to plant fruit trees and bushes. They are a long term investment, worth spending money on now to save money later.
Love your tips and your book.
