When the Cash Ain't Flowing


Have you ever taken the time to really think about how & where your cash is flowing? You may say, “Yea, I see it flow in my account & then out.” But, is it flowing the way you really want it too?

Cash flow is a technical business term used to describe financial profits after taxes. In everyday language, cash flow is money you have available in your pocket. However, if you were to be honest would you be able to say that your cash is flowing? Or do your cash pipes seem to be continually clogged with bills, credit card debt, & crazy spending?

A clogged toilet is not normal & neither is a clogged bank account.

After you pay the bills, put a little away for savings, & give a little, if you don’t have any “cash flow” you have to actually take the time & ask the question of “why?” If your toilet is continually clogged every time you use it you would either call a plumber, take the pipes apart yourself, or get a new toilet right? Then why, when it comes to finances & you are experiencing constant clogging, do you just write it off as normal?

In order to deal with your financial clog you have to first diagnose the problem. Is it the flow of water or pipes, your income? Or is it too much toilet paper or waste that you are trying to put down the pipes, excess spending? In either case, you are at the center of the solution.

When the cash ain’t flowing you have to be real with the “why?” If it is the flow, maybe it is time to get a new job or a second job. If it is excess waste being shoved down the pipe then you need to watch how you spend, when you spend, & why you spend. Start with taking the time to actually think why the cash ain’t flow & begin moving towards a solution; don’t just accept the clog as normal.


Let’s Do This Together
Do you take the time to actually see where your money is go & do you know why it is going to those places? What do you need to do to unclog your financial pipe or create more cash flow?
