Money Mentor: 10 essential steps to do your future self a favour

Three quarters of us say we never had a financial education, and so it's no wonder so many of us feel broke, stressed and with no idea how to use our money to create the life we really want. Anna Brading was like us - struggling with a growing family and rising bills - until she set out on a life changing journey of financial literacy. She's now a Certified Financial Education Instructor and launched MONEY FOR MILLENNIALS (100k+) to demystify mastering your money. She's helped thousands of people and her following is rapidly growing. Money for Millennials is an invitation to take the transformational journey from being a 'Money Chaser' to a 'Money Master'. We will look at how the majority of us find ourselves living like the Money Chaser. Educated, with a decent income, but stuck living paycheque to paycheque and not having a clue what to do about it. There is a constant, nagging feeling that things should be better, we should be doing more with our money and yet we feel stuck. Then we will look at the Money Master who realised that their education never taught them one of the most important lessons of all: how to handle money. So they dedicated time and focus to learning and implementing the key principles of financial literacy. Now, they have a plan for every pound that comes in, they can create growth, multiple income streams and are working towards a clearly defined plan for the future that's bespoke to them. They're happy and feel free. What did the Money Master learn to turn things around like this? They learned that focusing on saving and budgeting isn't enough, nor is solely investing or making more money, which will slip through your fingers if you don't have a plan for it. Instead, their knowledge can be broken down into 3 parts called the Money Maximiser Formula: infrastructure, investing and income streams, and 10 key financial principles. These are the things we really need to know about money that we were never taught in school.
