Are
you good at handling money? Are you good at money management? Do you
have self-control? How's your attitude towards money?
Robert J. Hastings wrote, "Money
management is basically self-control, for unless one learns to
control himself, he is no more likely to control his money than he
is to discipline his habits, his time, or his temper. Undisciplined
money usually spells undisciplined persons."
Mr. Hastings makes some strong
statements but are they true? How do you learn self-control with
respect to your money? Managing your money properly may take a whole
lifestyle change. Are you up for that challenge?
Part of the key to your money
management success is to obtain a proper attitude. Don't consider
yourself in bondage when managing your money. Look at yourself as
FREE when you do manage it correctly.
You will have freedom and power to do
what you should instead of what your impulses suggest. You won't
have liabilities and debts hanging over your head. You won't have
bill collectors calling you demanding payments. You won't have the
worries associated with debt when you can't make a payment or meet
an obligation. And there won't be extra month at the end of every
paycheck.
You will learn to be content where
you are and with what you have.
So don't think of money management
as a systematic plan, which you must be a slave to. Think of money
management as an attitude - your attitude toward how you save, spend,
and earn your money.
Make today the first day on your
quest to financial freedom and a debt free life!
