    What would you do if your wallet became harder to open as your spending approached or【C1】______ your budget? Would you think twice about where your money was going?
    Part of the reason so many people spend too much, or fail to【C2】______ self-imposed budgets, is because spending money has become an abstraction in our increasingly cashless society. Credit cards provide immediate satisfaction, but no immediate【C3】______. So many researches suggest taking【C4】______ dollars from your wallet is more painful, and leads you to spend less.
    But there are plenty of mental【C5】______ and strategies that can make your budgeting more sustainable now. In fact, the best strategy is not to think about it as budgeting at all.【C6】______, set up broad goals and automate all savings.
    "Self-control is wonderful, but it’s just not【C7】______," said Meir Statman, a finance professor. Start by becoming more【C8】______ of your spending, whether you write it down in a notepad or on Web sites.

选项
答案K
