Talk Tuesday - Invest in you first

Tax season is upon us and there will be many "IncomeTax Ballas" displaying that money all over the social media sites. But what happens when that money is gone... then what?  There are some who will take that money and blow it on materialistic things that happen to be popular at the moment. Then there are some who will take that money and be responsible with it. Some will save or pay off/down some debt.

When your not use to having money is easy to get caught up with spending it in the moment. I not saying you shouldst treat yourself, I'm a saying be smart with your choices. I was a single parent up until I married my husband in 2002. As a single parent who didn't recurve any assistance, and working for Uncle Sam, I had to make better choices with my money. If I could take ball anything in my life, it would be not knowing the importance of saving money and spurning it wisely. I've made my mistakes with money, as most people have, but as I've gotten older my choicesv have been better. It's always about growth and wanting to be better. It's never too late to learn about money and how to use it wisely.

That's why I'm hosting a class this month on the 16th to discuss how you can obtain financial freedom. If you live in the Austin, TX area, I encourage you to come out to this free event. There will be a Financial Advisor from Merrill Lynch speaking and answering all you questions. Get your tickets at www.curlygirlfinances.eventbrite.com. 

I challenge you to write down at least 5 important thing you could with your income tax return. First, take at least 10-15%(or more) of the refund and place it in a high interest bearing account. Second, pick the most important item from you list that you would like to pay off...and do it. Lastly, put the rest of the money in your checking account and use it wisely. You can do it!!! Until next time...Stay Financial Fabulous!!!
