How to Manage Your Financial Life: Cash Flow Management, Surplus Planning, And The Importance Of Automation For Savings

Many people struggle with their finances simply because they lack direction. I encourage you to sit down and think about your short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals. Trust me, once you clarify your objectives, managing your finances will become a lot easier.

We also explore the four key metrics you need to understand to manage your cash flow effectively:

1. Income: What you take home each month.

2. Expenses: Most people underestimate their spending—are you one of them?

3. Taxes: Understanding your tax liability is crucial, especially if you have complex income sources.

4. Surplus: The amount left after accounting for income, expenses, and taxes.

I break down how to nail down these numbers and why they are essential for creating a solid financial plan. Plus, I share my recommendations for budgeting strategies tailored to your income level, whether you’re a high-income earner or just starting out.
