To spend less money is clearly in your hand because money is dead. You can do what can you with money. If you have some brain you will use it effectively otherwise, you will waste it. Let me explain this with a small but important story.
A businessman has become very old. He had done so hard work for setting up his business. He has 3 sons. He wants to give his business in the hand of his intelligent son. So, he decided to take the test of his 3 sons. He gave Rs. 1,00,000 money to each son for doing their business. He gave the time of one month and allow that they can go any other city. All sons got money and went for doing business.
First Son = He bought second hand car with Rs. 1,00,000 for driving. But he has no money to buy the fuel. So, he came second day in the home because he has no money for starting his driving business.
Second Son = Second son thought about enjoy the life with some money. So, few days he spent in hotel. He drank alcohol drinks. He enjoyed his life with his some girl-friends. Now, he was Rs. 10,000. For showing his father big money, he played gambling with Rs. 10,000. He lost all the money and reached home before one month because he had no money for eating the food.
Third Son = Third son had made budget of his business. Third son took the shop on the rent of Rs. 5000 in the market. He spent Rs. 10,000 on furniture. He bought book and stationary with Rs. 20,000.

Now, after month, he came to his father. He returned his Rs. 1,00,000. Father asked, did you not started any business. Son replied, I started and earned enough. So, I am today returning your money from profit. Father was happy after listening his business success story. He gave his whole business to his third son.
Lesson from Above story =
1 # All sons have Rs. 1,00,000 money for starting business. First son does not know spending effective way. He did not make the budget. So, he spent only. So, his expenses increased from his capacity. So, he failed in the business.
2. # Second son had also Rs. 1,00,000. But, he had the bad habits. Remember, if you have any bad habit, you never spend less. You will waste only money. So, leave your bad habit and follow good habits. Your money will be automatically spent less.
3. # Third son had also Rs. 1,00,000. He was so intelligent. He made his budget. He classified his expenses. He promoted his business by taking shop in the market. Add good furniture and stock of books and stationary in it. He kept his every day record and checked which items had the demand. From re-investing everyday profit, he got success. He also bought his inventory from good suppliers at best rates. That is the reason, he doubled his money within one month.
