How many times over the years have you logged into your bank account and felt your heart do a little skip when you see a rise in your account balance. Chances are, you’re one of the lucky ones who got a rewarding bonus from your company at the beginning of the year.


Giving yourself a little treat is one thing, but the problem is, not many of us are used to handling a sudden influx of cash. To be fair, most of it is caused by a neural compulsion in many people.

According to a study published in Neuron, the brain's pleasure centre floods our bodies with dopamine at the very thought of getting something we want. Putting it simply, that means that when we buy what we want, we feel good.

Unfortunately, reacting to the impulse to just spend might not be the best idea. It doesn’t help that retailers are holding more and more sales and promotional events, especially during holiday seasons that help tempt you away from your money.

These sales and holiday tactics are working too. A recent Deloitte survey found that retailers have a 75 percent chance of converting a shopper to a purchaser during the holiday season!

By choosing to manage your windfall wisely, you can avoid falling into that spending trap.

Three great ways to grow your money
PAY OFF THE DEBT

PAY OFF THE DEBT

No matter how you see it, debt is something negative since interest makes you keep on paying. Cut that slightly by paying extra off sums that you owe, and you’ll be living interest-free in no time at all.
SAVE FOR RETIREMENT

SAVE FOR RETIREMENT

Not something that many consider, but more should. Retirement savings are long term and money going in to this should be put to work hard, but safely. Consider safe funds to put your money in to, or stable long-term stocks in saving for future retirement.
INVEST THE MONEY

INVEST THE MONEY

This is something you might seriously consider as it literally is a way to grow your money. Investing can be a strong profit margin item, if you know what you’re doing to improve your growth numbers.
