Tips on how to gain control of your finances




By Candace Brown
Everyone has been talking about the financial crisis and what to do and what not do during these hard times. It is very important that consumers understand their current financial position by creating their very own financial statements which would include, a balance sheet and a cash flow statement. These are important when calculating what you are worth, how much debt you have, how much debt you can afford to pay off, how much you can afford to save, what you can cut back on, and what you need to do to maintain financial stability. Too many people are focused on the stock market, thinking the stock market will help the economy get back to a healthy, productive economy, and they are wrong. The stock market does play a big role in our economy, but just because a stock goes up or down for a week, doesn’t mean that the economy is doing any better or worse than what it was. Consumers need to worry about their own financial needs. Do you have cash now to pay your bills, if an emergency happens can you survive, can I cover my credit card bills if they keep raising the interest rates, and if you lose your job, how long can you cover your bills? These are very important questions to ask oneself. Not only is financial stability important now, but consumers must think about the future economy. What will your credit report and credit score look like when the economy is doing well again? There are many people that are turning to consolidators for help with their debt. Consumers shouldn’t think about bankruptcy, or that the new stimulus is going to get the economy moving in the next couple of months and everything will go back to normal. You have to take action now, get a hold of your debt and control your credit score by making smart financial decisions now. Suzie Orman has even released a new book/guide to help consumers specifically in 2009 that is free on the Oprah Winfrey website. Consumers must understand how important it is to take control of their financial obligations before creditors end up with control over a big part of their life.
