Do you want to get out of the feeling of being stuck in your financial situation to a place where you finally feel like you’ve made some progress? What if I told you that you can? I can’t say it’ll be easy, but everyone’s journey is different. If you really want to make a difference in your finances, then you’re going to have to make some changes to how you currently manage your money.

Here are 7 steps to get ahead with your finances:

Step #1 – Believe in yourself and know that you are capable of making lasting and real change

You are 100% capable of forming new habits and redirecting the course of your life. You may be in your current situation now because of habits that you’ve formed since childhood and your habits may have been passed down through the generations of your family. I’m here to tell you that you can break out of those habits and form better ones. 

You don’t need to feel at fault because we’re living in a time where money management and finances are really taught to us. But it doesn’t mean you can’t learn it yourself.

Step #2 – Realize that nothing changes if nothing changes

This step is straightforward. If you keep doing the same things over and over again without making any progress, then something has to change! If you want to get serious with your finances, then you need to make changes when it’s due.

Step #3 – Take inventory of your current financial life. Face your finances.

It’s time to get everything on paper. Face your finances and start writing down all of your expenses, in-flows, and interest rates. You can order your debt from the highest to lowest interest rates so that you can better prioritize what you need to pay off. 

It can be hard to take a look at all your spending and what you may have to cut off from spending, but it’ll be worth it in the end. 

Step #4 – Set some goals. Think about where you want to be.

Once you’ve written down all your finances, it’s time to think about where you’d like to be in the future and create goals for yourself. Think about whether you want to make more money or how often you want to work. 

The reason you want to figure out your goals is so that you can remind yourself why you’re going to put yourself through this. There’s something you’re unsatisfied with your current position and you shouldn’t give up on a future you want to have for yourself. 

Step #5 – Determine how badly you want to achieve the goals you have set.

Change isn’t easy. You need to have the motivation to make them and make them last. So think about how badly you want to achieve these goals. 

“The pain to remain the same has to be greater than the pain to change.”

Let’s rephrase what I said earlier — How badly do you want to get out of your current situation? It can be out of your comfort zone to pursue changes, but if that’s what it takes to reach your goals, you won’t regret it. 

Step #6 – Invest to accelerate the progress of reaching your goals

It is much quicker to invest and have compounding interest working on your side than just putting money into a bank account. Use a compounding growth calculator to show you how powerful it is to invest and grow your money. 

The market may not have done well in the past year, but I believe that it will get better because people will continue to purchase and consume things.
