Bad Habits

There is an expression in fitness, “You can’t out train a bad diet”. I think that the same applies to finances, whereby you can’t out earn bad spending habits. Thinking that if you just made a little more money that you would then be able to get control of it and have enough to meet all your needs is blatantly false and a gross exaggeration.

The internet full of stories of celebrities, professional athletes, lotto winners and business owners who have gone bankrupt yet were by most accounts rich. There are also plenty of stories of people who by most accounts made a modest living yet when they passed away where quite wealthy. The main difference is that one group knew how to manage their money and the other group did not.

The first rule of money management is to spend less than you make. And if you are a proponent of YNAB as I hope that you are, their rule #1 is to give every dollar a job. Go beyond living from pay cheque to pay cheque and master this greatest stress that most people will ever have which is running out of money before the end of every month.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
