Control cash flow, consciously
“Where does my money go?” For most people it just disappears in a mist of bills, expenses and buying stuff we need (or think we need). Our experience at SentinelWealth tells us that it’s only when you really know where your money goes that you can begin to bring it back, under your control.
Our simple solution is to tie your credit card and bank statements to a cloud based accounting app that effortlessly tracks where your money goes. You set the rules on how this is reported and at the end of each month you get a simple, easy to understand report.
Three months later: clarity
After three months you will see some patterns emerge and you will see exactly where your money goes. You can begin to make changes (you don’t have to of course, but most people do). Within six months that tracking can be linked to your own cash flow projections and by the end of twelve months you are in complete control of your money and you can decide what to do with it.
You might discover costs that you may have ignored – or didn’t know about – or services you are paying for and not fully using. None of this is difficult, the most important thing to do is to start! When you decide you’re in control of your money, things change fast.
