The worst enemy to achieving financial freedom is debts. The norm when it comes to financial planning is to spend less and save more. But your personal financial plan can come down crumbling if you are not careful to pay your bills. It is not only important to pay your bill but also to pay them in time. This will prevent you from getting into unnecessary debts.
Automating your payment is the best way of settling your regular payments or monthly bills like house rent, mortgage payments, school fees and the like. Approach your bank and authorize standing orders to pay your bills. This way you will not be tempted to delay in paying your monthly bills or spending this money on other things.
There are other expenses that may appear insignificant but can greatly affect your financial plans, one being your daily expenditures. It is vital to track your day to day expenses. Some amounts of money appear to be small but when you add them up after a year can contribute to a lot of money. Therefore, monitor every single spending by sticking to your budget.
Some of these small unplanned spending includes things like catching a drink with friends after work, buying an item you did not need at the supermarket. If you keep these recites and compute them by the end of the year, you will discover that you have overspent.
The secret is to note down every single expense, even a single dollar. This will help you to be conscious of what you buy and thus you will stick to your budget. It may not be easy but if you want to achieve financial freedom you need to make sacrifices. It does not matter how much money you make, you can become wealthy when you have a financial plan in place and adhere to it.
