Introduction and Workbook Summary
Money Management Plays a Key Role in Our Lives
Money and money management play a key role in all aspects of our lives.
From going to the store, to mowing the lawn, to taking the kids to school, almost everything we do influences, or is influenced by how we handle money.
A spending plan is a wonderful tool and one of the first steps to taking control and improving how you handle money. We want your money to be working for you, not against you.
The goal of a successful spending plan is to learn to live within your means and allocate some income to savings. A spending plan is the same as a budget.
It is a simple fact that you will never reach financial freedom until you succeed at living on a spending plan.
If the summit is financial freedom, a spending plan is the path that leads you there.
Creating a spending plan need not be a daunting process. When you remove the emotion from it, it is really simple arithmetic.
Let us look at why it is so important…
