I believe that a majority of people have got everything back to front. They all have the idea that "to Live is to Work" well I believe that it is the other way around and it should be "I work so That I can Live" but unfortunately most of our financial situations do not allow us to live by this philosophy. In today's world it is necessary for us all to be a MoneySavingExpert but most of us fall well short of the expert mark and this forces us to work even harder to make ends meet. In most cases both parents and or guardians in the house need to work to cover their living expenses.
Living expenses is where we all fall down mainly because we do not sit down work out all our bills and put together a well-detailed and manageable budget. Lets face it we all do a rough thing that we might scribble on a piece of paper and stick in the fridge next to the shopping list, but really who actually looks at them. The average family in reality live from pay to pay, and manage to pay for most of there bills like rego for the vehicles, rates, insurance, electricity and the list goes on and on and on. I know I did but not anymore.
Many years ago my wife and I got into financial trouble and I swore that it would never happen again and til this day it hasn't touchwood. We became disciplined and got some information and some budgeting tools to assist us to put our budget and saving plan in to place. We are still not a MoneySavingExpert but we are a damn sight closer and we always have the money for bills, we can afford to go to a restaurant when we want within reason. Our quality of life is much better now that we don't have to worry about our finances.
Don't get me wrong we are still average people on average wages but it all comes down to how we manage our money and that is the secret to becoming a MoneySavingExpert. What it really means is that we don't make the mistakes that a lot of people do by living outside our means, we don't buy unnecessary thing we don't buy takeaway food very often but if we want to we can because of the choices we make during our day-to-day way of life and we have the cash to do it.
Don't get me wrong it is not easy to make these life changing decisions in the early days but after doing it for a couple of years and you see that now you can afford to take your family away on a holiday or you can now afford to buy a new car or what ever your goal is it is worth the hard work in the beginning. The Big thing is that you have to have a goal if you are just doing it to put money in the bank you will find that you will quickly slip back into your old ways before you know it and then it will be harder again to turn it around. With the right attitude and information you can turn your financial life around and become a MoneySavingExpert before you realise.
