Wealthy YOU: Let's Talk Budget

Life can always be better and most of us would agree that when our financial position is better, other areas of our lives improve as well.  As part of my business planning exercise for 2014, I was asked to write down ten things that will change when I meet my financial/business goal.  I was surprised to find when I meet my most important financial goal so many of my other yearly goals become almost automatic.

Is there anyone else out there in my position?  When you meet your financial goals will you be able to enjoy a better quality of life, be able to give more to those you love, get out of debt faster, save more toward your retirement or reach other savings goals? 

Would you like practical ideas to help you keep more of your hard earned money?  Would you like to do more with the money you currently receive? Want to know how to get more?  Then read on…

Take this journey with me……

Change your mindset toward money.  Become more positive about having money as you increase your knowledge about your wealth potential.  “If a man [or woman] empties his purse into his head, no man can take that away from him.  An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” ~Ben Franklin

First things first….

Start with creating a budget.  Your goal is to put your money to work for you to make more money.  You’ve got to know how much you need and where to send it to make that happen.  Your created budget creates a roadmap or guide for you to use to tell your money where it needs to go and what it must do on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.  You can then use your budget to make adjustments to your spending and savings habits.
