In this New Year, I’ve been spending a lot of time focusing on finances. My aim is to become an efficient master of money. I’ve been frequently playing with my budget and beginning to notice areas where I’m not being so smart with my money. Now, I’m actively monitoring money spent on food and dining (one of my biggest and most adjustable expenses). Also, I’m starting to watch who I’m around and being generous with. Generosity is important to me, but it’s very important to give to those who need it and appreciate it most. There’s a difference between giving with the heart and spending lavishly to satisfy the ego.
There is no doubt that I’ve got a natural hunger to increase my financial literacy. It’s part of my daily conversations and others are starting to take notice. I’ve learned a very important lesson right away: when it comes to seeking education about money, there are countless individuals/organizations who are eager to separate you from your money under the guise of teaching you how to become rich. Be cautious of others who make promises to get rich quickly. Process any financial information you receive with caution and always challenge the ideas you come across! When it comes to your financial future, do not follow anybody blindly.
Be a student, not a follower! No one will care more for your money than you, so it’s up to you to learn how to master your own money! Yes, it’s important to seek advice from trusted sources, but in the end, you must make the final call on your own financial decisions. If you desire financial freedom, then there is no way around it; you need to learn how to manage your money well and make it work hard for you!
