FIVE WAYS TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY AT ANY INCOME LEVEL

FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO BE YOU

How much does it cost for you to meet your basic needs, save for the future, and have fun monthly?

TALLY UP YOUR INCOME

What’s your guaranteed monthly income from your job, gigs, side-hustles, etc.?

SEE WHAT EXPENSES YOU CAN CUT

If you want to gain control and peace with your money, you need to cut something. Cut your subscriptions, say no to what you don’t need, lower your existing bills, take your lunch to work, and pray that God would take the taste of unbudgeted food items out of your mouth. *smiles*

PUT YOUR BUDGET ON A PAPER CALENDAR

Use an oversized desk calendar to help you keep track of every dollar you earn and spend.

SAY NO TO CREDIT

You see, credit is one of the easiest ways that you give others control of your money. With debt, you spend money before you even get it. With debt, someone else controls how you live. With debt, you are at the mercy of others. If you continue to add debt to your expenses, you will never gain control of your finances, so don’t.
