Do Yourself a Favor and Make a Financial Plan

Of course it’s important to have a budget for the potential happening of an emergency situation. However, following a financial plan, as well as making simple lifestyle can help you plan for the life you want. Sadly, 2 in 3 Americans aren’t confident about their finances. 36% say their relationship with positive - but 33% say they are worrisome about their money, and 45% just feel stressed whenever speaking discussing their finances. Don’t fret - 2 in 5 have never had a budget, and 2 in 3 easily overspend when using a credit card. More than 1 in 3 even say they spend more than they save; so more than not, this will help you.

Start freeing your finances by shopping with the “built to mind mindset.” Especially with purchases that will free your time - because time is money. For instance, an automatic vaccum and mop you can control from your phone. The iRobot Roomba can self-navigate through your house, collecting any garbage in its path; and the iRobot Braava will give your floor that mopping it needs.

Apps such as Wag!, Rover, and TaskRabbit can help improve your life by providing access to dog walking, pet-care, furniture assembly, and home-installation services. Simple steps like creating and following a budget, as well as implementing a lifestyle of frugality, can transform your financial future. Replace your bad habits with spending that aligns with your future goals. 

Ask yourself: how do I want to spend my time? What career would make me jump out of bed each day? Who do I want to spend more time with? What would make me learn? The answer to these questions can be found in becoming more savvy, navigating your life’s transitions such as paying for college, using your money to improve your life by feeding your time, and saving for the future retirement you deserve.
