Has finance given you a warm welcome, or a sour one? If you have desired financial freedom, you can create this with the right plan as long as you welcome the things into your life that you need in order to be successful. There are many paths to total financial success. However, before you can think about success, you have to generate some time and/or money. Good time management and money management skills can both be used almost interchangeably. Those who budget their time well, can usually use those skills to budget their money well.
Focus first on keeping more money at the end of the money. This may mean paying off credit cards and spending less, or cutting out things that consume time. It may mean going more fuel efficient by trading in your car completely. Or it might mean simply using cruise control, not using the breaks as much, getting rid of extra weight, carpooling, driving slower to save gas, and so on. Perhaps you set your electronics on timers to save electricity while you sleep, perhaps you save energy by turning down the heat when you're gone. Perhaps you use techniques to prepare meals well in advance, and create ready to cook meals saving your time and money. Perhaps you get up earlier and make a bagel and coffee on your own rather than grabbing the much more expensive cup of coffee at Starbucks and burger's bagels. Perhaps you bring your own lunch to work.
Once you have created excess time and/or money you need to try to convert your time and money into assets that will continue to produce time and money. While an extra job may make you some extra cash, it will not necessarily be best for you. Perhaps its better to start a multilevel marketing business and sell, and try to build a down line that will sell to you.
Or if you have the right computer skills, perhaps it's better to build a website, and generate ad revenue. Perhaps you can invest money into having these things built for you. As you get smarter and work longer and harder, eventually your asset that you will create will hopefully also work longer and harder, even when you're not. If you do this right, eventually your assets can generate income that will pay for your expenses. This point is the point when you are practically financially free.
You can do whatever you want with your time, and you can have your income pay for your expenses. The only thing missing from the financial freedom welcome party is having enough money coming in to continue to build these assets, and having enough excess income to pay for you to go after your dreams, whatever they may be. If you are able to successfully welcome this into your life, finance welcomes you into the world and life of financial freedom.
