Nurses! Take Control of Your Finances

When I first got married, my husband and I spoke about finances. I thought as a married couple we would just sort of put all of our money in one pot and then pay all of our bills from there. However, my husband told me that he wanted me to have safety and freedom. He expressed how he wanted me to be able to purchase the things I need and want with clarity of mind. He said that once we have children, then we can change things, however, until then, I can focus on positioning myself in a good place. 
I’m not sure how your marriage is and if it is dramatically different, then I think that is ok, as long as it works for the two of you. One thing that I have noticed though is that when I’m operating from abundance I do things differently. I’m far more peaceful and calm and I know that no matter what, everything will be ok. Since day one of running my company, I have been able to focus my efforts on making sure the company and my job are in good position. Believe it or not, it is one of the first times in my life that I have been able to solely focus on myself… or at least sort of been given the mental clarity to do so.
In previous years, I had been too selfless with money. I think being generous is amazing, however, when you are not responsible with your generosity, this can breed discontent, contempt and greed. Which I was experiencing.
Having a budget and sticking solely to that number has helped me make much calmer, level headed decisions.  So financial success is important to strive for to become a more well rounded person.
One thing you may want to immediately do is, make less commitments. Commitments without too much thought process can be scary because a lot of these commitments can be life altering.
When I get into too many commitments, I have noticed feeling much less balanced.
I hope this helps! See you next Monday!
Much love,
