I admit when I have faults and financial management is a tool that I look forward to fine tuning in 2016. We all work to achieve better lifestyles and to support our families but little actually know how to make your money really stretch and grow. Money management is not taught in schools and beyond the basics of paying for bills and necessities, most don't really know how to make our money work for us. I'll be the first to admit that I need lots of help here but I have a hard time paying someone thousands of dollars to dictate to me what I should do with my money (maybe that's part of my problem LOL). So to save a bit we look for financially savvy individuals who offer morsels of wisdom for free.
I came across this woman's story of financial independence at the right time so I decided to share with my favorite group of internet friends. I was reading and doing research on another topic for a post and the story of Tiffany Aliche popped up for me in my feed (read here: huffingtonpost). She recalls her past of great hardship and struggle which ultimately led her to her calling of helping other women lay out a better financial road map. Luckily for Tiffany she has found her calling in life that serves a purpose and helps others which is what we're all here to do. I don't think it's ironic at all that she lost her job and relationships only to discover her life's work. The universe is always working to show us our true purpose and path but you have to idle and humble yourself to really hear what the universe has to say. The universe helps us at times by forcing us to slow down and take it in. It's up to us to listen. I took the pledge to get my finances in order with Tiffany in 2016. I figured I could get some advice (hopefully the free advise helps because I love FREE) and what better way then with a group. I'm always open to learning new things and benefiting from those who provide guidance. I'll follow up in 2016 with post on what I get from the group. For those who join then I guess we'll be learning at the same time.
