How to Leave Debt Behind, Master Your Money, and Achieve Financial Independence - By Michael Russo
We all strive for financial independence. Unfortunately no matter how stringent we begin our financial lives most of us will find ourselves at a point where we are stuck in a financial rut. It may be that we have mounting debts, a huge mortgage which we can't keep up with or that we retire with no savings or investments to rely on.
Whatever our struggles or ambitions for financial independence there are tools and tips we can offer you.
•
Financial Planning - this is the best way to know exactly what income you have and what outgoings there are. If you have never done anything like this it can be a daunting task but trust us, it is worth it in the end. You must account for every bit of income you have no matter how small it may seem. When it comes to outgoings you really must include every expense you have, even if its a few pounds per week, it soon adds up and can mean the difference between meeting your financial commitments and getting into arrears.
•
Insurance – get insured for anything valuable, your home, car, home contents, and most important your life. You never know when something can go wrong and you need to pay out for something. Imagine your car is written off or your home floods, how would you cope financially if that happened and you weren't insured? Having preparations in place to ensure you have money available to you to cover any large payments when they arise will take the pressure off you.
•
Retirement – we will all get there (hopefully) and when we do, we want to be able to enjoy all those years of hard work. Planning for the future and putting away some of your money now every month will mean you have a nest egg built up ready to enjoy your later years.
Seek some professional advice regarding any of your financial matters. Strategic financial planning is most important if you want to break away from debt and the constant fear of not meeting your financial commitments. If you have assets that you believe need to be looked after and you want to be able to leave it up to someone professional to do it for you, contact a professional asset management service. They will be able to help you manage any investments,
mortgages, or assets you may have, they will make sure you get the best financial gain at the end of any investment term.
Whatever your money worries now remember that if you take action now and face your fears you can turn them around. You don't have to live your life in fear of when the bailiffs come knocking or when your next paycheque is due. Don't live hand to mouth, break away from money troubles, and start taking control of your money. You will feel free and happier in all areas of your life.
