Hello I'm back. Didn't mean to stay away so long. Yes I am learning time management also. This will not happen again. Next on my numerous agenda venturing into the business world is incorporating financial responsibility in with all this. The first thing I had to recognize was a need to create a positive cash flow.
As with most of us I work a 9to5 or in my terms a sundown to sunrise as I work nights, and it just doesn't fit the bill for securing all my needs let alone my wants. Hmmmmm, now what must I do? well first I must maximize the amount of money I am bringing home. After much research I discovered the first thing to look at was exactly what is coming out of my check.
Taxes
Medicare
OASDI
Insurance
Health
Life
Flex Spending Accounts
Uniforms
Meals
Now which of these do I control? Surprising as it seems I controlled them all. What did you say, you control your taxes? Yes I do and I didn't know that either. But you control your taxes and we forget that and most of us are still operating on the very first W-4 we completed when we first started working 15-20 years ago prior to marriage, children, divorce etc.... and we are still being taxed accordingly. So the first thing we should all do is to take care of this. Well enough for today. And remember you are the key to your own success! Happy Blogging.
