The 5 Basic Financial Categories – Part 1<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since we\u2019re at the beginning of a new year, I thought I\u2019d try to add a little something that most don\u2019t cover related to setting financial goals and making financial resolutions. \u00a0In this article, I\u2019d like to discuss the tools and processes that make the goal of having better finances possible. \u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/span>One Place to See It All<\/b>
\n<\/span>There are a couple problems we all run into when it comes to managing our finances: 1) not having a way to daily stay on top of it, and 2) no single place to see it all. \u00a0If I were to ask you, have all your bills for the month been paid and how many you have left, you\u2019d [like most] have to go rambling through stacks of bills and other paperwork to determine. \u00a0If I were to ask, how much money you have available for use, you\u2019d more than likely estimate or check the balance on a bank account<\/a>. \u00a0The problem with this is there isn\u2019t an accurate way of knowing with certainty what\u2019s happening, but is there? \u00a0Today, I want to share with you one tool that can change the way to manage your finances. \u00a0This tool is called \u201cMint<\/a>\u201d<\/span>. \u00a0BTW – it\u2019s free and easy to use. \u00a0<\/span>
