budgeting
    #8605738 - 07/07/08 08:20 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

So a while ago I decided to get serious about money.  I had been reading a bunch of finance books, watching videos and tv shows about finance management and growth.

I started off recording every cent I spent so I could keep track of where the money went, and how much I had on exactly what day.  I collapsed the expenses, created a budget and started getting serious about cutting back and saving money.  I've fallen in love with the values of frugality and the conserver lifestyle.  I try and implement whenever I can.  I set up a bunch of ING accounts for my savings because they are high interest and it takes time to move the money out of them. 

I've recently met my first savings goal a two weeks earlier than I thought.  On top of that I'll have enough money to throw my best friend a great bachelor party at the end of the month.

I have started looking around at some online investment sites and I am considering my next step.  I want to accumulate a little bit more capital and then invest it in something with a higher return than an ING savings account.  I am thinking about RISPs and mutual funds at the moment, as I don't have much knowledge about investing and they seem like a safer step than investing in the stock market with my ignorance on the topic.

Anyway, it feels good to be in control of my finances, and to see some results from my efforts.  I am eager to make my money work for me, I am but a poor student at the moment, but I would like to one day buy some land and grow my own food.  I just now taking the first steps to make that happen.

I'm just posting to share my story.  I encourage others to post their stories on how they got their finances under control, how they keep them in control, advice on how to grow, or any other money success/ambition story that might be of interest.  Please share, I would love to hear(read?) them. :awesome:
