What is Delayed Gratification?
The power of delayed gratification can be a very powerful personal tool that can help you to get ahead in life. Delaying gratification refers to the ability to resist temptation, and to wait for rewards instead of seeking immediate satisfaction. To a child, delayed gratification is about choosing a piece of candy over a toy, for example. To an adult, it might mean going to a job you dislike because it has better career prospects, or waiting to buy a new car until you can really afford it.
How can you become financially free and independent by delaying gratification?
Most people have the notion that making money is about accumulating savings and investments, which is partly true. However, there’s more to this than meets the eye. Making money is also about not spending money that you don’t have. This is referred to as delayed gratification. In other words, you need to be able to delay the purchase of certain things that you want until you can buy them at a price that you really can afford. A person who is well trained in delayed gratification will ultimately reach financial freedom before one who is not.
