Details, details, details

Maybe you’re one of those people who loves paying attention to money details, saves receipts and knows exactly where and when money is spent without being anal about it. Yes, there are those people who are so attuned to their money details that they border on being obsessive about money. I am not including those types of people when I say that most of us would rather not take time to run down that $10.00 over-charge on our phone bill. Some even give up trying to read those confusing charges on most bills. Paying attention to these and other money details can be annoying, time consuming and irritating especially when waiting on the phone for customer service.

But, and this is a big BUT, if you truly desire wealth and wisdom then get in the habit of paying attention to small bothersome amounts of money. Organizing and respecting the money you have leads to self-trust, and greater self-trust builds the confidence to steward greater amounts of money.

With money management software, it is so easy to take the annoyance out of the details. If you are not already using one of the popular packages such as Quicken or Money, I strongly recommend you buy one immediately. Make use of the many reports, especially the ones that show the categories in which you spend money. It will make your life much easier and give you greater control and understanding of your money details.
