The first step towards having financial control is to be aware that of what changes we need to do within ourselves. I know you can do it. Thank you for sharing your story.

hi fitz. i learned about your site thru my brother. I am terrible at handling my finances and reading your tips served as my wake up call. i have been struggling to work on my finances for years. i was fortunate to land great and lucrative jobs but was not able to buy even a cassette recorder. then came mommyhood, now im in deep s*%#@!
im the eldest and i always have this feeling of needing to take care of everything and make things well and uncomplicated but it only hurts my and my daughter’s financial future. I AM A YES PERSON!!! and i am finding this attitude of mine unhealthy. your site also made me ponder on being firm about the limits of my generosity. i hope i can make this 100% possible. more power to you and thanx!!!

Hi Nicely,

Having a budget requires a lot of patience and discipline. You have to stay motivated in planning your finances. One technique that has helped me is the envelope method. If you’re interested in learning about this, you can check out my article here: Budget Your Money Through The Envelope Method.

Thanks for dropping by my site and hope to hear more from you soon.

Hi, Fitz. Have seen you last night @ the CBTL event. Congrats!

I used to budget my monthly salary during my first two years as a government employee. It was indeed effective, but since I got my credit cards, I started to experience financial issues. It’s hard to resist temptations, especially when you’re at malls and you have your credit cards with you.

Now, I’m planning to reorganize my budget plan. Hope I’ll be able to do it asap. Any tips?

Hi snoob. I agree with you and Warren Buffet, invest only in things you know and can control. This is probably the reason why I’m more comfortable in investing in businesses, just like you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
