Understand Financial Condition: The Early Key to Regulating Finances

Why do you need to understand your financial situation?

It's only been a few days of payday, how did it run out? Or do you suddenly realize that savings at the end of the month are only small? This could be a sign that you don't fully understand your financial situation.

We are often trapped in a “know it's okay” situation — after all, the important thing is to have money, be able to shop, and not run out of money. In fact, this mindset makes us not have full control over the money we have.

Being indifferent to financial situations is like turning a blind eye when driving a car—danger and risk!

Why is it important to understand the financial situation?

Understanding your personal financial condition means that you know exactly your financial condition—how much income, how much debt, how much to invest, and which expenses to reduce—you can make better decisions.
