Knowing Your Personal Finances
Monday Morning Check-Up
By Donell Edwards
I’m back! I have been away for some much needed rest, relaxation, and meditation, but I have thought much about this blog and our readers in my absence. I am glad to make my return today and to focus my attention once again on helping readers increase their knowledge about personal finance and improve their personal money management skills.
Today is time for our Monday Morning Checkup, actually, this is a monthly checkup since I have been away for awhile.
How are you doing with your personal money management skills? Here is a list of the things you should be monitoring and working to improve:
- Spending
- Using Spending Resources
- Overcoming Denial
- Committing to Change
- Financial Meditation and Reflection
- Learning to Sacrifice and Resist Temptation
- Overcoming Credit Card Addiction
- Making Better Choices
- The Killer: Weekend Spending
- The Family and Spending
