Attitude Check
by Doris Dobkins
dorisd@creativefinances.com
Are you good at
handling money? Are you good at money management? 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.” (This is
a quote, I didn’t say it and I’m sure there are exceptions.)
These are some strong statements but they need to be said. So how do
we learn self-control with respect to our money? The key 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 met an obligation. And there won’t
be extra month at the end of very 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.
