And in my experience, the blueprint for achieving financial security is a combination of financial planning and financial control. Here are a few tips:\n•\tLive happily within your means\n•\tTake full financial control\n•\tAlign your values with your money \n•\tAddress end-of-life planning\n•\tTalk about money\nIgnoring money or mistaking it for a status symbol or a substitute for personal identity will create a vicious cycle. Either way it will feel like there is never enough.\n"}
