Financial To-Do’s For Financial Strength In The Root Chakra

In finance, we build a strong foundation first. In other words, we begin with financial stability. What is financial stability? Financial stability refers to the ability of an individual to maintain a secure and sustainable financial position. It involves achieving a balance between income, expenses, assets, and liabilities while managing risks and uncertainties. Here are four fundamental components that are considered crucial for financial stability:

Income and Cash Flow: A stable financial situation requires a reliable and consistent income stream.
Allocation and Debt Management: We learn to allocate income effectively, track expenses, and guide our spending habits.
Your Reserves (emergency money): Building an emergency fund is an important aspect of financial stability. It involves setting aside money for unexpected expenses, such as medical emergencies, or vehicle repairs. It provides a sense of financial security and reduces the need to rely on debt or disrupt long-term financial plans when faced with unforeseen circumstances.
Financial Protection (as you build you protect what you have and your ability to have it): This refers to the measures and strategies individuals employ to safeguard themselves against potential financial risks and uncertainties. This includes; Insurance, Emergency Funds, Risk Management, Estate Planning, and Financial Education.

This becomes the foundation to financial strength! Think: the root chakra. Once we have that well established, we begin to build our assets through different types of investments and risk levels. Here is where your tolerance, time line, and values are considered. As can be seen, financial planning is a science. How you piece it to fit you is the Art. Certainly, a good advisor understands this and you. They prioritize you, your value system, and where you are right now in your financial journey because it’s all about the flow.
