TODAY’S FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE

PIN

      Finances have become extremely complicated. Credit cards, loans, monthly subscriptions, taxes and payment plans have people struggling to figure out how much money they have, need, earn and owe.

      Financial courses provide us with the math needed to solve financial equations. Financial experts tell us what worked for them and provide us with specific directives based on their lives.

      In these modern times, we need to learn and understand the current financial culture and how it affects us. We need to think for ourselves. Everyone wants our money and we hold the power over our spending and saving. The modern world is full of financial tricks and traps. It is up to us to figure them out and not get stuck in bad financial deals.

      We all have a unique financial picture comprised of income, savings, debt, assets, hardships and blessings. We all want to maximize our wealth and continually improve our financial situation. 

      To improve our financial picture, we need to begin honing in on the financial battles in our lives and approaching them with a new perspective. We are not the victims of our financial transactions; we are the directors and decision makers of every financial situation in our lives. We need to approach each battle armed with information and confidence.  We need to win the financial battles in our lives. 

      The information we need to win financial battles is found in our every-day lives. When we go to the store and compare prices, we are evaluating and judging what and how much to buy. When we negotiate a loan, we are using our skills to get the best deal possible. When we take courses to improve our job-related skills and seek new job, we are progressing in the fight for a successful career.

      While modern times bring us complicated financial issues, it also brings us the ability to easily connect and share.

      We can all improve our financial landscape and we can help each other avoid traps, improve negotiations and win our financial battles.  If we can share our stories, ideas and advice with each other, we can all improve the outcomes of our financial battles and ultimately improve our financial picture.
