For the first time in my life, I have an investment portfolio and am focusing my attention on growing this portfolio.
Getting to this point has been a journey of emotional ups and downs.
One of the emotions I struggled with for years was frustration and anger about money and not having enough money to buy food, let alone save or invest.
Learning how to budget and plan my finances was one of the ways I saved money. Even now, a budget helps me see where my money is going and to keep track of all my finances.
So in this week's #WealthyMoneyTv episode, I sat down with Chenine, my financial advisor, to ask her some questions on budgeting:
1. 00:42: How can you deal with the frustration of not having enough money to invest?
2. 2:02: How can people start budgeting especially if you have a fear of budgets?
3. 3:50: How to budget using the envelope system
4. 4:30: How to budget if you have a small business
