Once again, I've found some solace and hope in working out my finances for the past month. Every time I realize this, I'm always surprised. I have this idea that I'm supposed to find enjoyment participating in more creative and artistic endeavors. Of course, I do get a feeling unlike anything other when I do produce something creative but I often feel intimidated and limited by my pursuits. Even looking at more visionary and artistic websites and blogs is overwhelming at times. I find myself wanting to be them rather than actually get inspired to create my own pieces. Looking at what others write or create, I feel like it's something I can only dream about doing.
With personal finance, I feel like the more I learn the more I can actually implement. That and I can do so much of it without thinking really. I set up some automatic savings or spend just a few minutes and just watch things grow. Let's be honest, there's a reason why working with numbers are viewed as less than creative. It is easier to see the final outcome of a potential new plan or project. There's is something inspiring about being able to see what you may be able to save or achieve and then implementing it. I'm also inspired to learn so much more. So much so that I'm actually considering working at a bank in the hopes of learning about long term loans. Being in the short term and small loans of credit cards, I'm interested in learning more about personal loans or home loans. Eventually, I'd also really like to learn a lot more about investment options.
Also, being thrifty inspires all types of creativity. It's an area of my life I'd really like to grow and learn more about. I just never expected me to end up on this track.
Way to Go!
