Would you rather fight a blaze on your own or work as a team?
The same idea holds true for your money as well. You could handle it all on your own with no one else’s help but is that the most effective way? Do you want to? Does it allow you to see potential problems or solutions before it’s too late?
When you get a call, tools are available to you and your team to be successful but even with the best tools and the best plans you still need each other because everyone brings more eyes, different abilities and rolls to do the job. No one man or woman has to do rely only on themselves. The same principles apply to managing your spending money and saving. Think about your paycheck. What do you have? Just an amount of money deposited into an account? NO! There are tools in there.
You get base pay. What else?
Overtime?
EMT Specialist Pay?
Hazardous Duty?
Details?
Others?
How many of these are you eligible for? Of those, how many do you collect? Could you collect others? What would that take?
When you look at your expenses, are they covered? Does it take all your base pay or more? Are you ready to change that?
Can you try buying one more item in bulk?
Is it possible to cook in batches?
Now, with those tools, do you see more options when it comes to putting out your money fire?
It may feel like the pressure is on but you aren’t alone!
