Many people prefer to throw up their arms and proclaim they are "bad with money" - as though they can't change their behavior. This is not the case. A few simple steps are all that is required to get on the right track and start effectively managing your money. Literally every person who chooses to assert themselves and take control of their financial lives feels better about themselves and more in control of their life. It is truly a positive life change, and once you begin to reap the benefits, both financially and psychologically, you will never turn back.

The following pages provide a very simple and easy strategy to follow in order to understand where you're at financially and where you're going. There are six primary goals in the exercise. They include:

1) Setting Goals

Setting goals and objectives is the first step in the process of financial planning. It is impossible to get control of your financial future if you aren't aware of what you want that future to look like. It is also impossible to decide what course of action you're going to take if you don't know where you want to end up. Setting objectives is the cornerstone of a financial plan.

2) Collecting facts and figures

The next phase of financial planning includes data gathering about your present circumstances. A concrete awareness of your current financial situation is integral to learning how you will manage your money. This includes:

  • Calculate your living expenses

  • Estimate your income

  • Balance your income with your expenses

Use the cash flow charts and net worth charts to complete this step.

3) Assessment of Financial Health

This step allows you to analyze your present financial situation and aim to begin developing solutions. This phase brings in step one, where you made important decisions about your financial goals.

4) Realistic Goals

This step enables you to look at steps 1-3 and assess whether your goals are appropriate for your situation and what needs to be accomplished to reach those goals.

5) Action

This step of the process includes spelling out your implementation strategies. How are you going to manage your money to reach your goals? Develop a spending plan.

6) Continual Review and Assessment

Life changes, jobs change, kids grow older, parents grow older, and so on. Keeping a concrete hold on your money matters involves reassessing your financial plan at least twice a year. Life changes often demand financial management changes.

Working through these steps will help any individual take control of their personal financial situation and help them to reach their financial goals.
