The only way to manage your money is to learn how to stretch your paycheck to the next paycheck. Here are some tips on how to do this the old fashioned way … • Never live beyond what you earn and try to save as much as you can. • Use the simple “bucket of water” approach; make sure you add more than you spill out to keep the level going upwards; in short, buy less and save more. • Pay off credit cards every month. If you can’t afford to pay cash, it means you can’t afford the item. • Shop around and don’t pay top dollar for anything. • Teach your kids the value of each dollar. • Have a plan and work at it. As you very well know most lottery winners have gone bankrupt in the end. Being financially independent is not an accident or some stroke of luck. It adds up to the principle that financial success requires vision, a goal and a plan, hard work and discipline. Everybody can do it; you just have to apply it.
