Your Change Can Make A Change

Your pennies laying around your house can serve a purpose by using them to invest allowing you to develop your wealth, even if spare change is all you have. Micro-investing apps like Acorns, Robinhood and Stash the one I prefer allows you to own and make money from stocks. You can even set up your account to automatically purchase specific stocks and investments, allowing virtually anyone the chance to get into the world of stocks. And don’t forget about creating a savings account with the money you make from these programs so that you can use compound interest to its full ability.

Don’t Stay Comfortable In Life

When you really want to grow and prosper in life, you have to be willing to not stay in your comfort zone.

Be willing to negotiate your salary, and by increasing what you earn especially since it has been proven that those who ask for it usually get it.

Although negotiation isn’t an easy process, not being paid what you are actually worth is even harder. It could also mean the difference in living an average life and a rich one, your money matters.

The Importance of Saving And Investing

It’s important to have a purpose for whatever amount of money you have when you don’t that’s when you end up buying dumb things.

And simply forgetting what you spent all of your money on, you should always have the mindset of putting your money to work.

Allow your money to help you pay off bills like credit card debt and student loans, or use it to prepare for your future with and an emergency fund, investment accounts and retirement. These small changes will impact your life greatly and people in your life will also see that change and want to learn about how you did it.

Create A Money Mindset

You need to change the way you think in order to build lasting wealth, Jen Sincero says to “ you have to start by telling yourself you deserve it.”

One major issue with making money is not having any good ideas, time or opportunities it’s that we simply don’t believe we can be.

You must have that fire and desire to become wealthy, and don’t just do wishful thinking put action behind those thoughts.

Know Where Every Dollar Goes

It’s impossible to grow your wallet when you have no idea where your money is going and how. Especially when you have more money leaving it than going into it, so set a day during the week to track your spending and budget. You can even go paperless by using apps like Mint, EveryDollar, GoodBudget, and PocketGuard. You can even use a spreadsheet to track and record what you purchase or use a program like (YNAB) You Need A Budget.

Would I Buy Or Read Again?

Can I see myself re-reading Jen Sincero’sYou Are A Badass At Making Money’ again? Yes! Can I see myself even purchasing ‘You Are A Badass At Making Money’? Yes, because I know that I will need this book to give a pep talk whenever I stop believing in myself and needing reassurance.

The Question of the Week is inspired by Jen Sincero’s book “You Are A Badass At Making Money”. What makes you a ‘badass at making money’?

Answer: Understanding that the path to financial freedom is being willing to have or create multiple streams of income, and being ready to not waste an opportunity to make more money.
