Why Is Money Management Important For Your Future?

Julie Murphy • Dec 30, 2021

Why is money management important you ask? It can drive us towards our greatest dreams or prevent us from living the life we want. In today’s post, we’ll explore how far you can go.

----

Why is money management important?

Management is essentially the ability to be disciplined enough to accomplish goals and to stay focused on the task at hand.

The good news is, money management doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. You can find unique ways to manage your money without it being boring or complex. And I’d love to show you how to do that.


Let’s take a closer look at the importance of managing your money and how it will affect your future.

What Is Money Management?


Money management is the ability to improve your personal finances by taking specific steps.

We all have our own unique financial goals, which makes managing your money a deeply personal experience.

I truly believe that we all have the ability to manage our money, but we often just don’t know where to start.


It’s challenging since many of us grow up with a scarcity mindset that can hold us back from achieving all we’re capable of accomplishing.

Now, listen to me when I say this, you have the absolute ability to earn money and learn how to manage it, even if you feel like you aren’t right now.


I often find that the key to learning how to manage money lies in our ability to think positively about where our money stands right now. Even if we aren’t happy with the situation, we have the power to change it!

So, what does money management look like when our mindset is positive about the future?

First, we’re less likely to avoid the topic altogether if we’re confident in our ability to alter it. Empowered by our desire to not only look at but modify our existing money management situation, we can see clearly where we stand.


Second, with greater insights into our existing financial standing, we can then create a plan of action. That plan can translate into real wealth down the road if we play our cards right.

Third, as we better understand both where we stand and where we want to go, we can start to build up our savings and then use that money to create long-term financial success.

Why Is Managing Money Important?


Managing your money is important because it dictates everything from your health to where you live and the opportunities you and your family can enjoy. With plenty of money, you can live the life of your dreams without sweating the small stuff in between.

It’s a beautiful feeling knowing that all your bills are taken care of and you can travel as often as you like while ensuring your family is fully prepared in case of a financial emergency.

Create A Path to Better Money Management—Step-by-Step Actions You Can Take Today


To properly manage your money you need a plan, just like anything else we take on in our lives. Check out the following steps to better money management to create a better future for your finances.


Step 1. Start Tracking Your Spending


One of the biggest mistakes we all make is simply not tracking where our money goes. It’s a simple thing, really, and once you start to do it, I promise it gets easier. There are plenty of money tracking apps out there to help you do this, as well.

Step 2. Create and Stick to a Monthly Budget


Another important step is to stick to a monthly budget as closely as possible. I know it can be a challenge, but I find that even when things are challenging, we benefit in positive ways. Simply having more discipline is important, in my opinion.

Step 3. Save Up Cash When Possible


You are a magnet for money when you feel good and are in a high vibrational state. As you begin to accumulate money, save it! Now, I don’t recommend saving ALL of it, but do your best to put aside a good percentage of your income so you can better manage it.

Step 4. Start Investing


We should all be investing some portion of our income. If we aren’t, we’re missing out on a real opportunity to expand our wealth in the future. There are so many different ways to invest, as well. For example, simply maxing your employer’s 401(k) program is a great start for your savings. You might also want to consider opening up a retirement account if you can.

Step 5. Stick with It!


You’ve come this far, I promise you that you can keep going if you stay positive. Money is attracted to people who believe they deserve it. With a bit of practice, you can start to attract more money by staying in tune with your finances and sticking with your goals.

Step 6. Educate Yourself



There are so many financial courses available online to help you learn how to manage your money, it would be a mistake to not leverage them for your finances. Check out a few money courses here and consider taking one or two to improve your situation. You can also check out my YouTube channel for even more insights I only offer there. I also have a book, Awaken Your Wealth where I discuss how you can turn your wealth ‘on’.

Make Your Future Bright—Start Managing Your Money Today


The world is your oyster, and with enough money in your bank account, it can be an even more enjoyable place to be.

Take hold of your finances and start managing your money today, and you’ll be amazed at how far you can go, tomorrow!

True wealth goes beyond numbers. It's about inner peace, joy, and living a life aligned with your authentic self.
By Julie Murphy 05 Mar, 2024
In today's fast-paced and money-driven world, many individuals find themselves successful in their careers but can feel like they are missing out on their personal lives. We put aside our dreams of having a family, a relationship, or our hobbies for our career. Unfortunately, this happens to many people, and before we know it, the only friends we have are the people we work with. But what if we could have it all? What if we could have a thriving career and a fulfilling personal life? It may seem impossible, but with the right mindset and approach, it is achievable. Today I wanted to share with you 9 ways that you can bring personal fulfillment and happiness into your life along with loving relationships, the things we crave beyond money. When money isn’t an issue and our career is established, or perhaps we receive an inheritance or a big pay-out, we start seeking something more. We start looking for experiences that money can't buy, experiences that bring true happiness and fulfillment. This is where the concept of real wealth and impact comes into play. It's about knowing who we are and what truly matters in life. If you are searching for satisfaction beyond monetary wealth or seeking a greater sense of purpose in life, I invite you to read this article and join my free IMPACT workshops . These workshops, held every couple of months, are designed to provide you with insights and tools to help you heal the impact money, career, and relationships have on your happiness and success. Mark your calendars the next workshop will be held on Thursday, March 21st at 12 pm CST. 9 Ways That You Can Bring Personal Fulfillment And Happiness Into Your Life 1. Creating a Vision for an Ideal Life: Envisioning our ideal life involves more than just financial success. It's about considering our relationships, hobbies, health, travel, and contribution to society. By understanding what is truly important to us, we can re-direct our life journey toward what is most meaningful and fulfilling. 2. Finding Balance in Life: Balancing career success, personal relationships, and overall well-being can be challenging. It requires setting boundaries and priorities to invest time and energy into personal growth, self-care, and meaningful connections. Real wealth is about finding balance and having it all rather than sacrificing one aspect for another. 3. Defining True Success: Success is often equated with financial wealth, but there is more to life than money. Redefining success means exploring what brings true joy, purpose, and fulfillment. By aligning our goals with our authentic desires, we can experience a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that goes beyond material measures. 4. Cultivating Healthy Relationships: Building and maintaining healthy relationships is crucial for personal and professional fulfillment. Sometimes, we may feel awkward or uncertain about developing meaningful connections. However, by learning the tools and techniques to establish and nurture strong relationships, we can enhance our overall satisfaction and emotional well-being. 5. Self-reflection and Self-awareness: Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth and fulfillment. Through self-reflection exercises, we can uncover what is truly holding us back. It is only by gaining self-awareness of our beliefs, desires, patterns, coping mechanisms, and approaches to relationships that we can discover our true selves and what we genuinely want in life. 6. Discovering Passions and Purpose: Immersing ourselves solely in our careers and financial pursuits may leave little room for our passions and life purpose. To discover our passions and purpose, we must explore activities that ignite our creativity, joy, and sense of fulfillment outside of work. By aligning with our passions, we can uncover our purpose and bring greater meaning to our lives. 7. Building Meaningful Connections: Surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals and fostering meaningful connections is crucial for personal fulfillment. When we connect with peers who share similar interests and aspirations, we experience quantum leaps in personal growth. Building a supportive network of people who feel like family can provide a sense of belonging and create priceless moments that impact us for life. 8. Prioritizing Well-being: The pursuit of financial success often comes at the cost of our physical and mental well-being. Prioritizing well-being is the foundation for overall life satisfaction. By incorporating exercise, mindfulness, meditation, affirmations, and self-care routines into our lives, we can achieve a more balanced and fulfilling existence. 9. Mindful Wealth Creation & Management: Mindfulness can be applied not only to meditation but also to wealth creation. By aligning our financial goals with our values and principles, we can create a conscious and purposeful approach to wealth. This approach can have a positive impact on our lives and the world. Make Personal Fulfillment Fun & Easy: Discovering personal fulfillment beyond financial success is possible. It starts with investing our money and time into the things that bring us closer to who we are, help us discover what truly matters, and pave the way for lasting happiness. If our relationship with money is healthy, and we know the right things to do with our money, it can help us feel fulfilled. By creating real wealth in every area of our lives, we can live a life we love. If you are searching for satisfaction beyond money, a greater sense of purpose in life, and deeper and more meaningful relationships, I invite you to register and join my free IMPACT workshop .

Control is an illusion. We can plan and strategize, but ultimately, life has its own agenda. Clinging too tightly to control only creates resistance and blocks the flow of abundance.
