What is a financial cheat day? Similar to a diet cheat day, you select one day out of the week where you allow yourself some leeway. A financial cheat day can mean a meal at a restaurant. Be careful no to overdo it. Overdoing it can be a setback if not planned properly. When that day is over, you must be disciplined to return to the task at hand and be as frugal as usual. This is the financial reward for doing a great job, being diligent and living a little. I recommend a financial cheat day after you have accomplished at least (3) financial goals, paid of a debt, or restructured your bills. Planning is always key. A financial cheat day works best after you received a bonus, income tax check or a raise. So go out and splurge on yourself! Just don’t go overboard!
