Tip 1: Make a goals to Improve (or Develop!) Your Spending Plan
A Spending Plan is the most powerful tool to help you developing the new you in 2014.
If you have always thought of a “budget,” or “budgeting” that is a very limiting mindset. A budget feels like a calorie controlled diet, or a food fast – rather restrictive and usually, not much fun.
It really does help if you think of how you use your money as part of a Spending Plan instead.
You’ll gain a better idea of where you’re money goes and how much you have available to you for the necessities, activities and financial goals you want to achieve.
The Access the Power Team does seminars and workshops in local churches throughout the year, with the first three months being the busiest.
Church members and local community friends meet and learn the practical tools and skills for personal financial planning and financial wealth.
Your Spending Plan will give you a clear idea and tools to be more effective in the way you plan for expenses like utilities, food, hobbies and entertainment, travel education, and is the first step towards achieving financial freedom.
