Personal Finance Tips in a Nutshell

As mentioned earlier in many of my earlier posts, I have learned lots on my journey from debt laden to debt free life. Hence, I decided to share my experience, learning, and personal finance tips, through this blog, to people around the world.

Here are few things I would like to share, a must-read for all personal finance readers. This is a list of conclusions I have derived, which might help you to learn more about our attitude toward our finances.

• You don’t really have to spend money to learn personal finance management. Those financial products like money saving software, budgeting DVD’s, a kit of personal finance tips, etc. are all useless. Although I have suggested debt consolidation companies in many of my articles, I think that’s a waste of time too.
• If you aren’t an idiot, you can easily manage your finances. You will have lots of questions though. But paying those fools to help your finances get back on track is really a stupid idea. Don’t you have enough information on the web, search genuine data and get going. There is nothing new those money-sucking animals would offer you.
• There are probably millions of personal finance tips on the web and thousand such blogs.
• Once you have eliminated most of your debt, you will be surprised to know how much you earn every month. A major part of our income is spent on repaying our debt. If we eliminate it, we have enough, trust me.
• There is a big difference between frugal living, and doing cheap things. Frugal living means finding cheaper substitutes and eliminating useless expenses, not depreciating the quality of your life. You cannot ask your friends to pay restaurant bills all the time and say you are being frugal.
• As with anything, only getting started is difficult. If you intend to get your finances back to normal, you just have to take the pains to get started. Things will follow through easily. Those you survive the beginning, wins the battle.
• You will never get out of debt or never be rich unless you have the passion to do it. Many people wait for things to go out of control to manage their debts. Well, such people never do any things except for waiting.
