What is FInancial Awareness?

We make many financial decisions daily; some we don't even know we are making. However, to build wealth, we must take every decision seriously.
Financial awareness is understanding how each decision plays into our past (debt), present (savings), and future (investing).
We can only become financially aware once we build a hardcore budget that tracks every penny in and out of our household.
Once we do that, we will build financial intelligence by making finer distinctions. The more distinctions (budgets) we create, the more financially intelligent we become.
With intelligence, we will begin to become aware. Every choice (from getting Starbucks to selling our old couch) plays into the bigger picture.
The more tightly we keep our budgets, the more awareness we build. Then, once we reach the pinnacle of budgeting, we can start building passive income to give us even more options. Life is good on this side. Good Luck!
