7 Steps to Financial Freedom

Step 1 – Figure Out Where You Are

Many people don’t know where all the money goes each month.   You can simply start by keeping track of every penny you spend for a month or two.  This will be the first step in formulating a budget in step number 2.

Again, make sure to document EVERY expense.
