A chapter in Plan Your Financial Future, 2013, pp 27-42 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Academic studies have shown that following a financial plan will help you build wealth more rapidly than is possible without one. This is because a financial plan enforces self-discipline, the key to any future accumulation of wealth. People earning between $20,000 and $100,000 per year who follow a financial plan typically have up to twice as much savings as those in the same income bracket who have no financial plan. For those earning more than $100,000 per year and following a financial plan, the savings rate is some 60 percent greater than that of their peers. Clearly, people who adhere to some form of a financial plan—either in writing or informally by matching their savings practice to a predetermined set of financial goals—have a significant advantage. Bottom line: you have to convince yourself of reasons to save, or you will probably not do it. One of the purposes of this book is to provide you with those reasons.
