IN THEIR SHOES

It is not respectful to yourself, to others, or to your money not to plan for your future. It is not respectful to yourself, to others, or to your money not to take full advantage of the 401(k)s or IRAs or the other retirement plans that are available to you. It is not respectful to yourself, to others, or to your money not to face your debt, to learn the basics of investing, and to guard over your money, making sure that every penny you’re spending is a penny that must be spent. What day you pay your bills, when you send in your taxes, and what hidden costs you pay for your checking account all can make a difference in how much money you have and how much money gets attracted your way. We all think that a bigger paycheck would be the answer to our financial woes, but that is rarely the case. Respect starts with the money you are earning right now and what you do with it.
