I was telling a friend recently that having a vision board really helps a lot in achieving my financial goals. I have this vision board (more like a vision paper, since it’s just in one sheet of bond paper) that I taped to the wall in front of my bed. I did this so that when, I’m contemplating during the evenings, I can stare at it and become more motivated to save up so that I have enough to invest.
Recently, we have been reviewing our family’s finances and I think we’re doing pretty okay in that department (not excelling, but at least we’re okay). What we really want to eliminate are debts. We have a lot of credit card debts and of course, we have to pay off our mortgage. I say that we are pretty “okay” even with all of these debts, since we have a plan on how we could pay it off.
How about you? Do you have a plan for your our finances? How about your family’s finances? If you are still uncertain, join us for the Ready to be be Rich Family Finances Workshop. This will be on September 20, 2014 from 10am to 4pm. It will be at the vOffice Philippines Branch – 10th floor Fort Legend Tower in Bonifacio Global City!
