I've always said that if I don't take care of my money, then someone else will be more than willing to do it for me - to their advantage. Since I didn't want that to happen, I created a financial overview and detail plan that helps me keep my money under my own control, without relinquishing control of the finer details, too. I am sharing this journal with you, in hopes that you will find it helpful to gain control of your financial future. While earning enough money is important, it's not enough. You must handle the money correctly. That's the point of this financial journal. The book starts off with your overview of present situation and goals for the year, then burrows down into the monthly details. Since the journal is NOT dated, you can start any time. It covers the yearly overview and gives you room for a full year's worth of planning and tracking. Join me in this year's financial planning quest. I know you can do it, and with the help of this book to track and plan, you will soon know it too!
