Recap of MoneyMasterClass Week 34
Money Master Class: A Comprehensive Guide to Personal Spending Analysis
The Money Master Class, a popular financial literacy programme led by Gail Vaz-Oxlade, is currently focusing on helping users gain a deeper understanding of their personal finances through a daily spending analysis task.
This task involves tracking and categorizing expenses as either 'needs' (essential, recurring expenses necessary for basic living) or 'wants' (discretionary lifestyle expenses that enhance but are not essential). Users are asked to input six months worth of spending for a thorough analysis.
To facilitate this process, the Money Master Class provides resources such as spreadsheets, quizzes, and a dedicated spending analysis worksheet, which can be found at https://www.hoyes.com/money-master-class/.
By identifying needs and wants in their spending, users can gain valuable insights into their financial habits and potentially cut back on unnecessary expenses if necessary. This exercise is crucial for creating a realistic and sustainable budget and achieving long-term financial goals.
Throughout the process, users are encouraged to share their experiences and findings on various social media platforms. Weekly recaps of the Money Master Class are also available, offering a chance to catch up or revisit key topics.
In addition, Gail Vaz-Oxlade has taken extra time to focus on this task, as she won't be posting anymore tasks for the remainder of the month. For those who haven't been tracking their spending already, inputting six months of statements may require some effort, but the rewards are worth it.
For those interested in delving deeper into personal finance management, Gail Vaz-Oxlade's books, including "Money Rules", "Debt Free Forever", "CEO of Everything", and "Money Smart Kids", are excellent resources.
With the spending analysis task, the Money Master Class offers a valuable opportunity to gain control over your finances, make smarter budgeting decisions, and work towards long-term financial goals. There is still time to get started, so don't miss out on this chance to transform your financial future.
