Learn to List Your Financial Priorities

Making a list of priorities, urgent or important, you will help even the most organized person. Buying a house, a car, travel, savings & investments, retirement target, parent's meds, doctor's check-up - which is more and most important?

 

Learn to Set a Limit

Make an allotment for each priority. It's not advisable to give all to mom or dad's medical costs or maintenance. Pay yourself first. Pay your future first. Save money for self security.

 

Learn to Work Together

Communicate with a sister or a brother, a relative, a spouse, a partner. Discuss the financial obligations and express your side, your support limitations. In that way, other people won't over expect from you.

 

Learn to Make Extra Money

​If you're a millennial, a professional, a stay at home parent - check if you've got talent and skill that the world needs. If you have something to offer, like a skill, time and knowledge - monetize it. Have a freelance career on the side. Start an easy and systematized or turn-key business that's based on hardwork and time investment, less on financial capital investment. Be a financial trainer, a money coach. Be a leader in your field. Make more money to help fund your priorities faster & easier in less time.
