Listen Money Matters - Free Your Inner Financial Badass. All The Stuff You Should Know About Personal Finance.

Are you broke? Can you pinpoint why?  We’re going to give you twenty one reasons for your brokeness.  Listen hard and shape up! 1.  You think “budget’ is a bad word.  A budget doesn’t have to be a complicated spread sheet, just using Mint is a start. 2.  You try to keep up with the Jones’s.  All that stuff that you envy may be built of a house of cards made of credit card debt.  The feeling of having no debt is a better feeling than having a boat. 3.  You can’t say “no.”  You don’t have to accept every invitation that comes your way.  If your finances would be better served by saying no sometimes, that should decide it for you. 4.  You think the government will fix your problems.  Lol!  Whose government, ours?  Jeez, have you not be paying attention?  The cavalry is not coming.  They’re too busy over in the Middle East bombing stuff to give a shit about you. 5.  Finding someone to blame is more important than finding a solution.  This is an insidious practice and it will poison all aspects of your life.
