  • How does rest affect your finances?
    So contrary to what you may think getting to the point of crashing will not necessarily be the catalyst to change for you to rest. We all think that we will make time for rest, but life seems to speed up with more commitments and resulting responsibilities. Now for many, the lack of rest and the ability to recharge comes from the demands of your job. Now I’m not saying to slack off on what you were hired to do, but to pace yourself. Rest must be intentional in order for us to take a step back and intentionally look at our finances, our health, relationships, and other important aspects of life.

  • We live in a world with no margin, let's fix it!
    There is no surprise that margin is missing in our culture today. Margin is missing because it’s not a priority in our culture. Most Americans take little time actually disengaged from work. Whether we try to rest by taking a vacation, spending time with loved ones, or even getting rest during the weekend. When we look at being fulfilled by our jobs, most Americans report being dissatisfied and disengaged. So people are always plugged-in by the things that are draining and are not fully present for those things that matter most. This lack of purposefulness will end up affecting your relationships, finances, and future. Let’s change that!

  • Overview of Education
    Looking at an overview of the theme on education, it’s important to realize that education comes continuously throughout life formally or informally. You decide whether you will take the information or education and actually apply that to learning in the way of action. This action in turn can then create wisdom. Being intentional about not only gathering information but better yet being able to filter and apply that information effectively will set you apart.

About Financial Margin

From the publisher's feed

Millennial Margin was formed to provide people with a unique approach to personal finance through the strategic building of Margin. Margin is the space outside the chaos and in a society that continues to push an agenda of a fast-paced, high stress, low satisfaction environment, Margin is ever-so-missing. So what's the solution? The solution is to focus on what adds the most value to you specifically, not wanting what others have just for the sake of wanting what others have. Instead finding contentment in simplifying life through a process I call audit, automate, augment. This allows you to see what you specifically want, where you are and where you want to be, backing that out into actionable steps. Those steps are then automated and scaled. Personal finance is well personal, so Margin focuses on building momentum through monthly themes broken down into weekly series and further into daily episodes focusing on you. Allowing for a positive compound effect to set in allowing you to truly gain control of your personal finances therefore, building intentional Margin into life. I am thankful to be a part of your journey and hope that you find this resource transformational. Now let's build some Margin!!
