      My process is considered complicated but seeing your process I realize that mine is OK. I understand what’s happening and it helps me to know all the different accounts and what’s happening in each account. I appreciate so much you showing this because now I’m validated that it’s a way to keep up with things that will help you to gain a handle on your finances. Thanks for sharing!

      Most successful people started from nothing. They didn’t wait for the opportunity to knock but created the opportunity on their own by working hard. Thankgoodness i found Mr carlos kingston a pro forex trader, now I have been trading with him for about 7 mounths now and I earn up to $15,000 weekly. i guess this is the epic start to a new chapter in my life. I just feel like more evevryone should be made aware of this opportunity, feel free to contact him @carlos_1uptrades on Instergram his indeed a genius

    I’m from Sweden, Stockholm and we get paid once a month (always on the 25th) and all the bills are due 25-31 every month so it differs from How it works in the Us - but It’s still very inspiring!
    Tomorrow is the last time I Will have a credit card since I have paid off all credit card debt 🥳
    Also, in Sweden You don’t have to collect debt in order to be able to get a loan, here you have to have minimum or none credit or loans in order to get a loan :)

My problem I have is I don’t account for my variables expense for example nails and hair, and so I always feel like I’m failing because I’m always off budget. Any tips you can give me on how to budget for these expenses. I’m trying sinking funds, but not working so well.

    When people don't know the scriptures, they do ignorant and stupid thing's like pay tithes to the pastor's who are stealing their money.
    Tithes are only food for the leviticule priests and Aaron and his son's of the scriptures.
    Tithes and offerings are "FOOD". it's not money.
