The Keys To Riches™ Financial Wellness Series provides financial concepts each week that teach you how to think like the rich and be in control of your own money. Tune in to this week's featured Key Two: Take Action and Make Assessment as host Heather Wagenhals offers specific financial techniques to help your financial habits become healthy money management skills. Key Statement: In order for me to achieve my goals, I must take action and assess where I am starting from, so I can create a specific plan to get there. Key Affirmation: I am successful at assessing my current financial state. Key Commitment: I commit to taking consistent action everyday to build and manage wealth successfully. Key Action Item: Get a large 9 x 12 envelope, or more than one if you are a prolific shopper, and start collecting your receipts.We are only collecting those receipts. We are not looking at them or going to make any judgments on them. We are going to continue our current path for a short while longer so we can have enough information to accurately assess our current financial state. Only then, after we have made our assessment, can we decide what a successful plan for the future will look like.
