Something that a lot of people do not know how to do is ‘to have their money working for them’ or ‘to consciously manage money’. However, it is also something that you can overcome. You can move from financial servitude to financial independence with ease if you choose. The single biggest key to financial independence is financial literacy. You’ll want to keep in mind that when it comes to finance and wealth generation, the more you know about money, the more you will have. It is a choice, not chance, that determines your financial literacy.
You definitely cannot embark on your wealth generation strategy if you are not financially literate. Lack of financial literacy not only prevents you from becoming financially independent but also creates emotional distress and nervous tension that can cause health problems.
Try to get some type of grasp on the situation by taking stock of where you are now and build up a picture of your current financial position as of the present moment. Check all your credit card balances. You’ll want to consider doing anything and everything that you can think of in order to keep your credit good. The first thing that you will want to do is get rid of your credit card debt. Once you have that credit card, use only for emergency purposes (not just for shopping sprees). Once you realize that you have too many credit lines open, you’ll be able to keep your credit score going. There are a lot of credit cards that can be canceled and still be paid on. If you end the credit card line today, you’ll still continue to lower your balance, but not have the option to charge anything. You’ll want to talk to some of your credit card companies in this manner so that you can keep yourself from further debt. There are just some people who can handle the credit and some people who cannot.
The second thing that you’ll want to do is to assess your current ‘Net Worth’ using the personal financial statement and balance sheet. Your Net Worth is an indicator of your financial health. You’ll need to sit down and consider what is happening with your finances. If you simply are over extended from your income, then you may need to take stock and discover why you are in the position you are in. This may relate to attitude to money or to poor habits with money. Negative attitudes and poor habits with money cause financial and emotional grief as well as preventing you from achieving financial independence.
If you are struggling financially then you are going to have to fix two things; your mindset about wealth and your ability to generate money with ease. First, you need to improve your financial literacy. You also need to change your poor money habits and your limiting beliefs. This means that you’ll need to become aware of your points of view and your judgment about money. What are your beliefs about money? Do you believe that you have to work hard to make money? You will never achieve true financial independence if you believe that you have to work hard to make money or that money is hard to make. To become financially independent you must absolutely perceive, know, and receive that money is easy to make, that you can generate as much money as you wish. You have to truly perceive, know, receive and be that belief in every fiber of your body. Finally, you’ll have to learn how to invest and allow money to work for you.
