Budgeting Personal Finance

Imagine grocery shopping once-a-week or less, eating healthier, and having more free time—all while saving money. Sound too good to be true? For the Economides family, it’s a reality, and it can be yours too.

The difference between you—an entrepreneur—and the average financial advisory client is massive. You don't color within the lines. You don't like being told what you can and can't do.

You prefer to think about what's possible rather than what limits and restrictions are in place. The word retirement probably makes you cringe.

They claim that if you just start early enough, cut back and delay long enough, or stay in it for the long haul, then one day, someday, you can have the life you have always wanted… when you retire.

If you are looking to get out of credit debt the best thing that you can do is to be realistic. You aren't going to be able to pay off your debt all at once.

If you owe $15,000 and you can only pay $150 a month, you can start there. Also, cut out as many of the expenses as you can and take that money and put it towards your debt. Whatever you can do is going to be a good thing.
