Money Management

Money Management

Personal money management is an act of balancing one’s income and wealth with one’s desires, wants, and objectives. Even though most of us may survive without having sophisticated strategies in money management, facing financial pressures at some point in life is inevitable. The finances that most of us make during our productive adult years ought to be managed effectively if we are to lead fulfilling lives. I have personally realized that responsibilities keep increasing as we grow older, and I have to embrace effective money management to attain this goal. Every day, I feel the pressure of saving more and investing to be secure from these financial uncertainties. A key solution to avoiding these financial pressures is avoiding impulse buying.

I based my conclusion of avoiding impulse buying on two premises. Firstly, I have noted that the payment method used in my transactions affects my spending behavior. Whenever I swipe a credit card, I am never concerned about spending. On the contrary, effective money management calls for accountability whenever I intend to spend. Spending cash out of pocket would make more sense. Another premise for proper money management is having a discretionary budget for unavoidable fun spending. A discretionary spending budget will go a long way in helping me avoid unnecessary expenditures. Setting a discretionary budget will help me avoid spending way above what I can afford but still be in a position to purchase things that bring me joy.

There is, however, one logical assumption that is part of the argument above. The entire argument assumes that no unforeseen circumstances could make one spend significantly despite being financially disciplined. For instance, getting sick and being admitted to the hospital may significantly eat into one’s savings.
