10 Simple Financial Tips that Helped Me Improve My Relationship with Money
Since graduating college, it seems like I have been engaged in a very intense game of hide and seek with my money. My birthday passed recently, and it made me realize I have essentially been living paycheck to paycheck for the last 3 years. Because of this, I have committed myself to gaining more financial intelligence in any way I can.
I’ve gotten money management and savings tips from Youtube channels like The Financial Diet, restructured the way I look at income and earnings through reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, and even spoken to a financial adviser about retirement and credit.
(I won’t add any links because I do not mean to endorse anyone, this is just what helped me. And please keep in mind this is just a condensed list of sources I drew from.) Through these sources, and my own trial and error, I have come up with a few actionable tips that have helped me improve my relationship with money.
I realize that many people will look at this advice as elementary level, but think of it as a beginner’s guide to understanding financial literacy. We all had to start somewhere, and if you’re like me, you literally can’t afford to be passive about your finances any more.
