The human mind is capable, of being much more than a hat rack! It can change your life… if you let it! This article is about money matters, because quite frankly… Money Matters! Money is something that most people receive varying amounts of, and therefore need to manage. Many want more of it and yet, our educational system doesn’t teach us very much about it!

I have taught and counseled others about money management, for years and finally decided to compile my teachings into articles and eventually a book. But for now, I want to give you a heads up, on how you (and virtually anyone, for that matter) can take control of your financial life and create whatever financial reality you choose! Because the buck$ start, with you!

The buck$ start, when you take control of the steering wheel, of your "Financial Life" and direct it to where you want to go. Even if you feel like your financial life is currently spinning out of control!

Hello! My name is Charles Grant and I’m writing this article to help Educate, Equip & Empower you to successfully manage your financial life... in essence, to create the life you want to live. Do you believe that’s possible? Well, keep reading, because I’m going to demonstrate quite clearly, how you can do that.

I’d like to begin, by sharing a quick story with you… a true story! I remember one beautiful, peaceful summer morning, about 38 years ago (I was about 19 at the time) and I felt like doing something adventuresome! I had no idea what… but I wanted to do something exciting!

I drove around and ended up at a car dealership, where I came across a 1967, 4-speed, Mercury Cougar! It was N-I-C-E!!! I requested to take it for a test drive… the salesman didn’t bother to go with me… he just asked for my driver’s license and gave me the keys!!! Humm… a nineteen year old adventurous kid, an awesome 4-speed Mercury Cougar, a Saturday morning with nothing to do… kinda sounds like a recipe for trouble, huh?

Well, I quickly discovered that this car had an incredible third gear! I mean, when you punched it… it was like the car reared back and then raced forward, as though it was launched… kind of like they illustrate in cartoons. Anyway… fast forward! I picked up a relative (who shall remain nameless, to protect the guilty :-) and I parked the car on the street, in front of his house, which was a block and a half, from a busy, 4-lane main street (an important detail)! As we go to the car, I toss him the keys, saying… you know how to drive a stick shift, right… right! And off we go.

From the curb… he floors it and quickly shifts to second. As we approach the last block he hits third and… whoa… you know what happened! And unbelievably, he then shifted to forth!!!! Man... he needed to hit the brakes, not the accelerator! Finally, he slammed on the brakes, skidded and turned the car sideways, ending up in the mouth of the intersection, with the passenger side (my side... yikes!) narrowly avoiding on-coming traffic!!! Wow!!! I had more adventure and excitement, in that short ride than I had bargained for, and it could have easily cost me my life! It’s been said that God watches over babies and fools! We were young…, but not that young, we weren’t babies... however, we had acted foolishly! But, thanks be to God, for his amazing grace!
