Where did My Money Go?

Many of you think January lasted forever but I thought it went by fast. I have been setting my goals up for the year and trying to adapt to this new way of life. And, I must say I'm not doing too bad. To say has been difficult is an understatement but I am a work in progress. This month, I set the foundation for my finances, health, and business. I had to realize that I'm not the most organized person. 

With finances being at the top of the list, I hired a financial advisor to hold me accountable and give me a reality check on the state of my finances. Its weird my mom was an accountant but I never learned financial literacy. It's so important to know how credit works and why it's important to save.  I have been on an endless roller coaster of having money, then being broke. So, I decided to get off the ride and educate myself so I will be able to educate my children.

Plus, I want our family to travel and soon or later become debt free. 

Since it has only been a few weeks I can't say if my finances have improved but I am fully aware of where I am concerning money and where I want to go. So? If you are like me, and a little direction, a financial advisor can make a big difference. You can find them at your bank or through recommendation. Ask a friend or family member to see who they use.
