Money Management for Young Entrepreneurs
This site will help you understand personal finance and money management. You don’t have to be a Ph.D. to master your wallet but I know how helpful it is to know that you are not alone. Having the courage to face to your money issues, whether it’s saving for your child’s tuition, paying back your friends and family your startup capital, or building your first million, is rare but doable. You may find yourself with colleagues who spend on designer clothes or fancy dinners — frugal living and smart spending can be a lonely road. But guess who has the better chance of having the last laugh?
Young entrepreneurs, those who don’t want to succumb to having a boss and depending on a paycheck, walk an even lonelier road. Obstacles abound at the start but courage, faith, and resilience keep us on achieving our goals with our businesses.
My goal here is to guide you, to motivate you, to show you, to share with you — and I know you can do the same for me. You’ll read about good or bad investment vehicles along the way and realities of cash management and savings. This isn’t “how to make money right now†or high-yield scam or pyramid promotions. The risk-return adage always holds — the higher the return, the higher the risk. Here, we work hard to spend, save, share.
Some topics you can read about here:
- Cash Management: Savings advice and how to budget
- Credit Cards: Plastic is not free money. How to keep track and manage debt
- Business and Investing: Active and passive investing and business spending
- Motivation: Courage, faith, and resilience
