  1. Taking control of your finances means building a budget to know where your expenses are.

"Well the 5 things we recommend doing today is number one take control of your finances. That usually means build a budget, know where your money is going and what’s coming in. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on high interest credit cards or pay day loans and loan products they chew up a big chunk of your take home pay. Rates are the lowest they’ve been in all of our lifetimes. It’s a great time to refinance today if you’ve got a home and a mortgage. Rates are as low as 5%. Make sure you insure what you own so you’re protecting your wealth in the long term. Have a short term security blanket. Build up 3 months to 6 months of savings that’s readily available to you in case you lose your, have a medical hardship. Make sure you are secure in the short term."
