Understand Financial Literacy
Financial literacy isn’t as complex as you think. It’s simply the ability to read and understand financial statements — so you can see your strengths, spot your weaknesses, and make better decisions. The process required to achieve financial independence will take time, discipline, research, and an investment in your financial education. But you can’t improve what you don’t measure

But before you can map your route to financial freedom, you need to take an honest inventory of where you stand today. And that starts with understanding two crucial documents that show your financial health: the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet

Your Income Statement is a record of your income and expenses over a period of time. It tracks three types of income:

Assets put money IN your pocket — like a rental property with positive cash flow, a dividend-paying stock, or a business you own. Liabilities take money OUT of your pocket like your car payments, mortgage, or credit card debt. From the Balance Sheet, you can determine your personal equity or net worth, which is the difference between the value of your total Assets and your total Liabilities. Net Worth = Assets – Liabilities

Getting out of a financial struggle starts with taking control of your thoughts and actions. It requires time, discipline, and investment in your financial education. But most importantly, it requires you to be both responsible AND accountable for your money."
Start today. Download any money manager app, and begin tracking every naira. Remember: you can't manage what you don't measure

Remember the Golden Rule, He who has the Gold makes the Rule. Make Fortunes.
