Your Budget is the first tool you need to create a strategy for transforming your relationship with money.

In order to achieve your financial goals, you need to have an organized strategy for transforming your ambitions into a series of purposeful actions.

Slide 31

Let’s watch a short video that illustrates how it’s never too early or too late to learn the importance of having a budget. 

Slide 32

Whether it’s a lower price, a better rate, a shorter term or a budget billing plan for your utilities – Everything is negotiable, but you have to ask for it.

Home Maintenance can help to prevent costly repairs, leads to lower utility bills and lower insurance costs.

Slide 34

Automobile Maintenance helps to prevent costly repairs, leads to higher gas mileage and longer vehicle life.

Insurance coverage, not stocks and bonds are the foundation of a sound financial plan. Unexpected healthcare costs can wipe out savings quicker than almost any other expenses. Uncovered expenses due to inadequate life insurance can wipe out any inheritance you might leave your family.

Slide 42

Do you want more money just to buy more things you don’t need????

Slide 43

In the Christian Bible - Romans 6:23 says that “….the wages of sin is death….” Oftentimes when we have more money, we’re able to buy more things that we think will give us pleasure, but sometimes these things end up bringing us more pain than pleasure and keep us away from fulfilling our true calling.

Slide 44

Does not having enough money motivate you or make you angry????

Slide 45

Do you want more money just to horde it or put it to work???
