Financial Assistance

Monday, April 26, 2010

I have decided to take my BLOG into a new direction. I am going to give you financial tidbits each week that I hope will help you all in the long run.

I am not a financial planner, nor am I a CPA. I do however, read a lot about money, investing, and things like that. I know my fair share about those things but so do most of us. (I will be getting most of my factual information from Dave Ramseys' books/ websites, just in case you long for more!) What is the most interesting to me is that:

WINNING AT MONEY 80% BEHAVIOR AND 20% HEAD KNOWLEDGE.

Do you find that as shocking as I do? I would think that means we all know how to run our finances. Then why is our country in such shambles? If it only takes 20% knowledge, then what is going on? We can't all be that sheltered from the information!

Well, its hard. Its HARD to say no to the things you want, the toys, the games, the food, the treats, in favor of doing the things you should do. But, I am here to motivate you! Let me start with this Shocking Stat:

90% of people in our culture buy things they can't afford. Are you one of them?
