personal finance tips

We all wish we had the answers of how to make more money and be a huge success. Some of us are dreamers, but are too scared to take the first step. Then the rest of us are content with our 9-5 jobs and monthly income, and we aren't too phased at the thought of having to make it big or to become a success.

  1. No matter which category you find yourself in, we can all take a little bit of advice, of how to make improve our personal finances and make ourselves successful in our own eyes and not by others standards.
  1. The first tip is to assess your finance habits. The habits we have revolving around finances, more often than not come from the way we saw our parents spending and managing their finances. Now it may have worked for them, or not, but it's important to be aware of how you spend. When you know what your habits are, whether you are an over-spender or an indulger, or if you're stingy with your cash, you can evaluate what the best thing is for your finances and find a good balance.
  1. You've all heard it, but do you actually do it? Pay yourself first! When you receive your income monthly, weekly or per project, depending on how you have set things up, immediately put aside your savings and pay yourself first before paying any bills or making any other transactions. If you start to view yourself and your savings as number one on the list of important bills to pay, it completely shifts your financial paradigm and makes saving a lot easier and more successful.
  1. If you find your passion in life, then you'll never have to work again. It sounds too good to be true, but if you're supporting yourself and your family, by doing something or offering a service that you're passionate about, then you'll never have to feel like you're working or being drained. With passion, it's much easier to be enthusiastic and a go getter! If you believe in yourself and your ability, then making an income from your passions can set you up for great success.
  1. The world that we live in today is supposed to make our lives easier, but often times, things just seem to be getting more and more complicated. It's time to simplify your life and your spending, and this is one of the best tips you can incorporate into your everyday life. Walk to the office once or twice a week instead of taking the car, ask yourself if you truly need to be spending and making each purchase. When we live with simplicity, it becomes much easier to see what is really important to us, and to distinguish it from all the bells and whistles of abundance.

Finally, educate yourself. Knowledge is power and if you are up to date with the latest financial trends and advice, you're one step ahead of the pack to financial success.
