“ ‘Normal’ is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get
to the job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.”
~ Ellen Goodman (columnist)
What is your financial philosophy?
Everyone sees things differently since your nature, experiences, knowledge, and beliefs are unique. Your personal financial philosophy
is the rule that affects how you think about and use money. It drives your daily financial decisions. How you believe and live in line with your financial philosophy—determines whether or not you live in harmony with yourself, your loved ones, and your money.
Once you develop your personal financial philosophy, the next step
is to actively identify goals and implement methods to support your philosophy. This course will help you design your unique plan which may include actions like cutting up credit cards, avoiding interest payments, creating a spending and savings plan, tracking spending, and many other tools. Your financial philosophy, goals, methods, and use of financial tools will all take on powerful meaning and special purpose unique to your personal circumstances.
