Manage Your Money and Manage Your Life



Money management suggests pulling off greater control over cash flow, both in personal and business perspective. It is the process of budgeting, saving, investing, spending and/or overseeing the cash handling of an individual or group. Effective money management can be achieved by establishing budgets and analyzing costs and income. A relatively second-rate investment can roll into a dynamic gold mine through effective handling of financial assets. What percentage or what part of your wealth should be put into risk in order to maximize your utility function? Controlling risk by proclaiming the amount of closing-out loss is different from directing risk through a money management model that determines the extent of your problem. You do not have to save your entire paycheck, but you should save at least a little something out of it. You must use a method to trace where every single dollar goes. Only when you know where your money is going, can you take steps to channel it to your savings and investments.

Financial management gives practical advice for gambling, for business contingencies, and for stock trading/buying or selling stock shares. Deficient money management is one major cause of bankruptcy among unseasoned traders. Only when you develop the habit of managing your personal finances, can you manage the finances of your own business. So many people financially mismanage their businesses into bankruptcy because they mismanage their own finances. Don't be one of them! It may take some time to change your habits and actions, but it will pay well in the long run if you do. If you want to be wealthy, do not expect it to happen automatically. You must commit to spend time on your finances. Millionaires spend an average of an hour a day on personal wealth management, while most people spend less than an hour a month, usually on paying bills. Financial stress resulting from poor money management skills can affect our capacity to make good decisions, harm our relationships, affect physical and mental health, and ultimately to function well in life. Many people think that if you cannot manage your life, you can't begin to manage your money.
