money-management

In the modern city life, if you don't have money , you simply don't have life.

The SECRET to financial security is not to have more money, but having MORE CONTROL over the money we presently have.

It's not about judging you, it's about changing your point of view.

See money _ currency - as the flow of energy and giving that cycles between you, others and me. Now let it flow kindly, fairly and mindfully.

People who are distracted by door money, neglect the production and the audience. Money becomes their god. They sacrifice their reputation in favor of building revenue. Believe me; the former is more difficult to recover if lost.

Recognize those times when it's best to do nothing. The weeks and months following a significant loss, including death, divorce, or the incapacitation of a loved one, are fraught with emotions. We typically do not make our best decisions under circumstances such as these. **Avoid the inclination to immediately put your house on the market** cash in all your savings, and move to the south of France, or trust the first person who comes along who says he or she can give you all the help you need.

Give yourself a set period of time to grieve and heal before focusing on financial matters.

Money per se does not make you happy - it's what it enables you to do with your life.

If money management isn't something you enjoy, consider my perspective. I look at managing my money as if it were a part-time job. The time you spend monitoring your finances will pay off. You can make real money by cutting expenses and earning more interest on savings and investments.

Balancing your money is the key to having enough.

Whether we make our own money or rely on someone else, many of us would rater pretend our financial matters don't exist. Or we hope they'll just take care of themselves somehow. My ex-husband was like that. He always said, "I bank by prayer. I go to the ATM and pray that money will come out.

Accepting our greatness means no longer playing small. It often starts with baby steps. But eventually it means making major changes - in our lives, jobs, relationships, and dreams. If I had believed in my own self-worth, I would never have been willing to make the financial moves I made in the past. If I'd known my value, I couldn't have spent so many years ignoring the whispering - and sometimes screaming - voice that told me to leave my marriage. For a long time, that truth was just too scary and painful for me to face. Talk about keeping my head in the sand! But how many years did I waste, postponing what has proven to be a much better life - simply because I went into hiding and didn't see that I was worthy of something better?

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

There is only one way to make money: sell something. You're either selling your time or a product. The secret? Productize your time. That's freedom.

Dozens of days, experiences, and encounters have set me on a path I never dreamed possible.

Sharpen and trust your judgement: learn when spending is a shrewd investment and when it is merely an indulgence
