Introduction to Managing My Money

Imagine that you didn't get stressed about money.  That each month money came in and you paid all of your bills on time.  Debts were under control and you still had a little money left over for you.

Einstein said that the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same things but expect a different result.  This applies to money.  If we ignore bills or spend money on "stuff" before we buy what we need then expect everything will be ok we will be disappointed.  If we ignore money problems they don't go away.  

Money can cause us mental health problems.  Worrying about money can lead to stress, sleepless nights and a feeling of helplessness.  

Even if we are in a position where we are managing our money well there is always room for improvement.

This course is easy to follow and step by step you can find a different way to manage money and therefore you can get a different result.  Making small regular changes can have a huge impact on how you see money.  Imagine not having to worry about money ever again!
