Cruise Control Your Finances

pattern

In this 30 minute webinar, we will teach you how to control your finances.

Achieving lifelong financial success can sometimes feel like an overwhelming task. There is a step-by-step plan that will help you with controlling finances long-term. We will go over how you can take control of your finances by understanding the internal and external forces that affect your spending habits.

Paying yourself first means treating your savings as a priority bill. Don’t wait until your other bills have been paid. If you wait, you may spend your extra money before you put it into savings.

At least 10% of your net income should be set aside for savings. The easiest way to do this is to have it directly deposited from your paycheck into your savings account. If you are able to save more than 10% of your net income, that is even better. Watch the webinar below to learn about mental accounting, and how to budget accordingly.
