I have always admired legendary basketball coach John Wooden. However, the older I get, the more I look up to Wooden for his contributions off the basketball court. He was an amazing person: hardworking, charitable, gracious, wise.

He was also frugal, living simply in the same modest Encino condo until his death in 2010. He has inspired me to find joy in the simple things in life that don’t cost much money: a beautiful sunrise, a hot mug of tea, a good book, the happy thump of my dog’s tail against the carpet.

Which is unlikely given that most of the Americans do not have any goals in financial life. More than 80% of Americans do not follow a strict budget either.

Before I start writing my wisdom on financial planning here, let me explain that, until now, I didn’t do anything as fancy as checking off a year-end personal finance checklist – a list of what I didn’t do and can still do before the tax year ends.

Suddenly the idea crossed my mind and I decided to do some research. As I made multiple lists, I realized I’m definitely not financially perfect and have my own fair share of mistakes, and that this blog is a way to become more self aware and make informed decisions.

Whether the reallocation is going to benefit me is not yet known.

With budgets becoming more strained as economic times become more stressful everyone from your neighbor down the street to your favorite corporation is doing one of 2 things and they are increasing earnings or cutting cost.

Generally it is much easier to cut cost than it is to increase earning so many people automatically gravitate to that method, but the way to handle things is to find a balance between both of these methods. It is always a good time to increase your earnings, and I am sure that we all have some fat that we could trim to make our finances leaner and meaner to help us achieve our goals.
