Growing up my parents just really didn’t have any clue about the money they didn’t have a plan they would just spend to spend. I, however, knew when I was old enough that I really wanted to learn and try to master what to do with my money and where my money was going. it’s so easy to come up with so many excuses as to why you are not meeting your financial goals. But I’m more so look to find results. The tips am sharing with you today our tips that I use on a regular basis if not daily basis to help me with executing my financial goals. It's so important to get started somewhere, start small and don’t overwhelm yourself with taking on a project that you’re not mentally financially physically ready for. I always encourage my followers and readers to create a plan for themselves and when they have that planning create weekly daily monthly yearly goals.

Have a Plan – Any Plan

My favorite quote is "a goal without a plan is just a wish" have a plan, any plan know where you want your money to go how you want to spend your money and wherever your money in the next year's months or even century.

Stick to the Plan

It’s so easy to create a plan but it’s also so important to stick to the plan and what you create for your money. What I typically do is on a weekly basis is always review my plan to ensure that I'm on the right track. Don't just create a plan. Actually, implement your plan as well.

Expect Emergencies

Whether you’re a homeowner or have children, expect emergencies and plan for them. It's so important to have an emergency fund, and plan. Your goal should be to create an emergency fund and save at least 1K.

Save Early and Often

For some, it's easy to have multiple accounts and deposit a small amount in those accounts on payday, some prefer to only have one savings account. Do what works for you.

I stopped eating meat for almost eight years, and for the first time in my life I finally purchased vital wheat gluten, and it has been life-changing. I made ribs and fried chicken!! Why wait? To be honest, I went on the hunt for it a couple of years ago, and could not find it at any of my local stores. I typically purchase Bob Mills products at my local Ocean State Job Lot. However, they never carried the vital wheat gluten or chickpea flour. I visited my local WholeFoods and that's where I finally found it at. I only purchased one bag, due to not being sure how I would like it, and honestly. I have to keep a pack on hand now. It's just so versatile. My chicken came out so yummy, and crispy. The recipe below makes a lot. Depending on who you're making it for. You can easily cut the recipe in half for a personal servicing. I made this recipe and made another batch the next day and it was plentiful. I also opted to use kitchen scissors instead of a knife to cut the pieces. It really made a huge difference and it was so convenient.
