Good morning people of this beautiful earth! This past week I have reflecting on the beauty all around nature, the elements, the landscape, burrows, and even man made creations (Concrete Jungle). Reflecting and taking a pause in my day, I see beauty all around me. So many great things that are around me and all of them are made for the same purpose, to keep me distracted from my finances. Nice! But it is a problem and a stressor that everyone has on the back of their minds. Money is always a part of everyone's life, but being able to manage it correctly and find the loop holes. Hundreds of dollars in everyone's pocket can be saved with following some simple tasks.
Throughout the pas several weeks in my blog I have been able to talk about people, connection, communicating, and stresses. But how does this relate to finances? What changes do finances have on communication, stress, or connection? Let's talk about it, leave it in the comment section!
Communication with finances is so important in order to make sure you are getting your buck worth. Everyone wants the bank to be transparent with the customers, to know exactly how much a customer has to pay for rent, mortgage, loan, and anything out of pocket. The worst to do is unknowingly get into a deal or contract and lose thousands of dollars. Asking questions is so key, even if it seems pretty straight forward you never know the cracks that could be slipped. Trusting your banker, broker, or even financial planner comes through communication. One thing that I have been able to do is openly talk to someone about my finances with someone that I trust. It allows me to develop a plan and assert my actions into financing my life.
Stress is major factor when it comes to finances, and can build up over time. Finances is always in the back of everyone's head when purchasing a house, car, loans, school, or even just buying candy at a gas station. Knowing that other payments have to made in other purchases, such as insurance, phone bills, or rent, it is always back in the mind. For me finances have been a stressor for me, budgeting how much I have. Being in college and knowing that I cannot spend too much, trying to stay safe financially. It can be stressful. For me the best way that I have been able to handle it is by creating a budget, and setting small goals. This has helped me to stay accountable and getting an overview of how much I really do spend.
How does finances even effect connection? The number one cause of divorce between couples is over finances or money. A system was not developed between the two before hand or a little problem has become a catastrophe. Couples with different bank accounts, providing money for themselves that they have earned. Not willing to share with other spouse. A rule for young couples wanting to go engagement or marriage, finances need to be brought up so there can be a game plan. It is almost like a cycle, without communication between a couple it can lead to future stressors, distrust, or to eventual problems down the road. Couples could do a simple task which is to talk to each other first and it can take away future headaches or stresses down the road.
Finances effect everyone everywhere. This leads to a lot of problems in families, communities, and economies. It can be taken care of and can be treated.
Thank you to everyone again to reading my blog. I know not a lot of people view or comment on my blogs, but that is okay. Because I am still sharing my thoughts and they are my own, sharing my uniqueness.
