Episode 1: Money Management: Moving from Chaos to Calm
The first day of class each semester, it never fails, a hand goes up, and the same question is asked by a student: “Do I need to be good at math to do well in this course?” My response, “Absolutely not.” While a few basic math skills are necessary, pretty much any financial question can be answered via Google or Siri, or online financial calculators are available to make the process easier. The bottom line is, – financial planning is intimidating, and it doesn’t have to be. While there’s a place for fancy calculators in the finance world, that does not mean that one is required to create your personal financial plan. With that, many times, the topic is avoided because you feel overwhelmed and don’t know how to get started.
Does this sound like you? Let’s reduce those jitters, so you can feel confident in creating a personalized financial plan that works for you AND one that you can stick with. It doesn’t take a financial wizard to build a solid, basic financial foundation nor does it require you to have a high income. It’s about being more mindful and intentional and making some necessary adjustments to your spending and saving habits.
Here’s to your best financial future.
