Budgeting next week

by Jeff on July 24, 2009

Hi readers.  I hope that this friday is treating you well.  I would also like to thank my first subscriber, whoever you are.

Ok, now it’s on to business.

Earlier this week, I encouraged you to gather all your regular monthly expenses to prepare a budget for next week.  (Article can be found here).  I hope that all you readers have had an opportunity to do that and are prepared for the exciting dry task of creating a budget.  Next week will be devoted almost exclusively to budgeting, unless I can find some time to write about a few other things I’d like to write about.

Monday will deal with goal setting and an analysis of monthly expenses.   As they say, “you can never know where you’re going unless you know where you are”

Tuesday will be banking basics.  Terms, types of accounts, etc.  It will also include a review of money that I spent that day, and my weekly budget.  I have also found that they dont teach these things to kids.  This is an unsustainable practice.

Wednesday will discuss credit and debt.  Im not a debt hater, but I believe that many people have been treating credit like cash lately.  It is not.  Topics will include credit cards, mortgatges and other types of debt.

Thursday will give an overview of investing in many forms.  Retirement accounts, income properties and similar vehicles to get you to where you want to go.

And last, but not least, friday will be budgeting.  After learning about all the different types of accounts and how they can help you, you can create a budget and make a place for them.  If you dont give you rmoney a place to go, it will wander aimlessly and dissapear.

Thanks for reading.
