It's time to mind your own business
Most people are programed to mind other people's business and make other people rich.It begins innocently with words of advice like:
- Go to school, get good grades and find a safe and secure job.
- Work hard so that you can buy the home of your dreams, after all your home is an asset and the most important investment.
- Having a large mortgage is good because the Government gives you tax breaks or deductions.
- Buy now pay later or easy monthly payments -Those who blindly follow this advice often become:
- Employees, making their bosses and owners rich.
- Debtors, making banks and money lenders rich.
- Taxpayers, making the Government rich.
- Consumers, making many other businesses rich.
Take Action
- Find your own personal financial statement. In order to get where you want to go, you need to know where you are financially.
- Set financial goals for where you want to be, both short and long term goals.
Take control of your cash flow.
- More money will not solve the problem , if cash flow management is the problem. People who cannot control their cash flow work for those who can.
- Map out a plan to get control of your spending habits. Minimize your debts and liabilities. Live within your means before you try to increase your means.
Cash flow management plan
- Pay yourself first.
- Focus on reducing your personal debt.
