I struck gold!!


Well kinda..lol!
Before I first started up my business I was pretty good at saving and for the most part thought I was good with my money. Well after throwing a full blown business into the mix and starting it when I was 17 I didn't really have a grasp what I was financially getting into! lol! After, not having any of my finances organized last year and doing my taxes this year myself and last minute I decided something had to change! First I got quickbooks set up which is awesome! I have someone log all my receipts every months so I know where I am and have everything categorized. The next step I put into place a couple weeks ago and it's working out soooo wonderful. I feel like I have so much more money but it's just because I'm just being smart about it! I got a couple more bank accounts last week so that then all the money that comes in goes through a percentage filter so I make sure I'm saving, setting aside money for taxes, giving, and etc... Having the additional bank accounts really helps me not spend that money that's supposed to got somewhere else! HAHA! Well I decided to break it down even more with my savings and I just started buying gold(and silver) with a percentage of it. I'm going to buy a couple coins each month to get started and then work my way up. It's so important though to have your money in different places not all in one place!! Especially in this economy with huge threats on the dollar, gold is soooooo much more secure!! I'm excited!! It makes saving fun! You should try it! :)
Ok..that was your business lesson for the day! haha!
