Money Leaks to Money Moves

Do you ever feel like you can't get on top of your finances? Or that no matter how hard you work, money seems to be like someone else's property? Have you ever felt like despite your current income, you're always paying out more than there is coming in? I have.

Recently, I found myself starting to ask the bigger questions of my money problems, I've been wondering, "what is it going to take for me to enjoy total financial success?" Like any good financial adviser will tell you, the first step is to see where you're currently losing money or in other words:

Where are your integrity leaks, financially?

What are the areas in which you have huge amounts of stress and worry surrounding money? What old debt or bills have you seemingly "forgot" about? Furthermore, what is it about money that you have not taken 100% responsibility for?

As I have been asking myself these questions, I've come up with some very creative answers. First, there's the array of stories that I'm at the affect of the economic crisis and that there just isn't help for a guy like me – that no matter how hard I try, money seems to slip between my fingertips.

However, going deeper, there is more at risk in my current financial situation than my credit rating, my integrity and my own willingness to take 100% responsibility for creating my life the way it is today.

Despite the details, right now, I'm committed to being broke, in debt up to my ears and feeling all sorts of frustration and overwhelm regrading my current financial crisis. How so? I'm simply being honest about my results. And in facing into my debt, directly, my integrity leaks and all the ways in which I worry about money, I give myself a chance to accept my life the way it is today and be at choice if I want to continue on the path or make another choice.

Today, I'm making another choice!

I appreciate you for taking the time to read this post, there's a reason why you did.
