Short Call, Big Credit

Time is our most valuable asset, and once lost, we can never get it back. That’s why it’s so important to spend your time wisely and make sure your efforts are not in vain.

In order to truly manage your money like a boss, you must be vigilant about knowing what goes in and what goes out. Having auto-bill pay is easy and convenient, just as long as you’re actually looking at the bills. It’s easy to miss a charge or charges otherwise.

I recently made a call to my internet provider because a bill that is normally $50, was over two times higher, nearly $130.

This HAD to be a mistake. There were charges for items and services that should have not been charged. While valuable time had to be spent calling the company, in the long run it was worth it. When all was said and done, the bill ended up being under $7. Had I not been paying attention,   I would have automatically paid the unusually high bill and that would have been the end.

The point is to not be too busy being busy that your money has a life of its own. You should always know what your money is doing, where you money is going, and how much money you have.

It's imperative that you manage your money like a boss. Let no one (such as accountant) or nothing (auto bill pay), have total control. If you do, do not be surprise when money starts disappearing right before your eyes.

Remember, keeping tabs on your money is time well spent!
