Every Game needs a Hero

8.38am Monday 21st. It was just seven Short days ago that I was sitting right here with my Mom looking at this blog it was the first time that she had seen it.She is back in London now and at almost 80 years old is ready to see more of the world, for the past decade she has been travelling to different countries and continents living what many people would call a lucky and luxurious lifestyle. How is it that a woman who used to receive 5 English pounds sterling per week could support two children and a mom and dad own two properties and survive. Here is her secret .......Planning,discipline,hard work and patience.You might say what happened to me,well, I never planned had no patience and had no financial discipline. My mom never had the phone or electricity cut off never once went to a pawn shop didn't use credit cards to live and by the way never owned a car I tried to teach here when I got mine but she couldn't get the hang of it now I think that maybe I did not have the teaching skills to show her I was young and had not taught anyone any thing at that point, My moms system for her financial success to this day was based on the following concept, if you cant afford it you cant have it.I told her that if she had decided to own a business it would ave been very successful unfortunately for me I did not apply my moms skills in financial planning and budgeting but now I clearly see her simple but effective method for a secure financial future oh by the way did I mention that her pension is a measly 160 pounds per month I still cannot pay my way earning $4000 per month the same principle applies if you have more gong out than comes in you will e boke my hat is ff to you mom in the game of financial budgeting and planning your are a hero.
