Establishing the right pillars for our financial foundation is critical. For the foundation we build today will help us sustain the financial uncertainties of tomorrow or it will contribute to our future financial collapse.

Regardless of what hand life has given us, we still have some control. This year is the year to plant 🪴 your financial seeds, estabish your financial roots, and take control of your finances.

"The light shines the brightest from the darkest moment."

Though darkness is uncomfortable, divisive and confusing, the beauty comes from the light that emerges from our darkest moments.

Personal finance is no longer a nice thing to have and do. Instead, it is a necessity in the 21st century. Those who learn to educate themselves and master these personal finance items get to enjoy a better financial life. It is a huge mistake for those who neglect these 10 personal finance musts. Whether it's due to ignorance or laziness, the price is the same either way.

To echo Jim Rhon, "We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is the pain of discipline weighs ounces while the pain of regret weighs tons."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in moments of challenge and controversy."

- Martin Luther King Jr

This statement could not be truer in the midst of what's going on in this nation nowadays. Equally powerful is his other statement that "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

Happy MLK Day!

Quote of the Week:

"Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in 10 years."

- Bill Gates

As we start the year, what a good time to

1 - Stop
2 - Analyze
and
3 - Pivot

To echo the great Albert Einstein, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

HOPING is not a GOAL!

Whether it's health and diet (i.e. losing weight or getting fit), education, spiritual transformation or personal finance (i.e. getting out of debt, save, invest, buy a house, improve your credit etc.), none of that happens by accident. It takes setting clear goals, taking actions, patience and discipline to make it happen.

In the age of the 21st century convenience, many of us are still unhappy and unfulfilled 😡, unfortunately. Turn any such negative feelings into something more productive this year.

Be sure to set at a minimum 1 clear and SMART Goal for 2021, or the year will come and go just like the many years before that.

SMART Goal

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time Based

For example, in 2021, I'll put $50 in my savings account on the last day of each month versus I'll save some money this year.

If you want to change your life, first set your goals and priorities accordingly, and everything else will flow from there. I never seen a dentist goes to cooking school.

Though we all love ❤ the holidays seasons, that's no longer an excuse to be accumulating unnecessary debt for the sake of short-term and temporary feeling good moments.

It's time that we prioritize our long-term goals and focus on life changing/generational financial steps🚶‍♂️(financial goals, budgeting and spending plans, saving, investing, debt and credit management etc).

2020 - What a year!
2021 - What a fresh start!
