      INTRODUCTION

      Economically Savvy: Your Money

      & Your Mindset

      If you know me well, you know I’m good at finding ways to save money. Do not call me dirty words like cheap, frugal, or tightfisted. I will take offense. Instead, I prefer a more sophisticated term – economically savvy .

      Economic savviness is the art and science of finance combined with the wisdom of long-term planning. Economic savviness is fiscal. It is visionary. It is behavioral. It is personal.

      To be economically savvy, you must rethink your relationship with money, determine your wants versus your needs, and embrace the tools and opportunities that make financial freedom possible. Becoming economically savvy is an evolution, one that begins with conscious effort and eventually becomes second nature.

      This guide to economic savviness is written to provide maximum flexibility. Each chapter has a specific theme, which means you can read the chapters in order or select the chapters that are most relevant to your goals at this particular moment in your life.

      In this book, you will learn about your money and the general principles of money management. I will introduce you to side hustles, money saving apps, and compound interest. I will also tackle tough financial topics such as debt and preparing for major life events – namely, college and retirement.

      You will notice I mention apps, websites, and research multiple times throughout this book. I will constantly remind you of the technology that is literally at your fingertips. Free apps and websites exist to save you money. Information and technology that support your financial goals are readily available. Thus, Part I of Economically Savvy is all about money, and Part II is about teaching your children to become economically savvy.

      Because achieving financial wellness requires behavioral changes and a focused mind, Part III is all about mindset. I am always in an economically savvy mindset. I want you to have an economically savvy mindset, too.

      When our minds, homes, and hearts are cluttered, and our stress levels are elevated, it can be difficult to think clearly about our financial wellbeing. Hence, the latter chapters focus on shopping tips, simplifying your life, and handling tough situations. Making financial decisions can be difficult. Having a clear mind and a plan of action may alleviate some of the stress. You can do this.

      Get ready to become economically savvy. Take a few moments to think about your goals to build wealth and live a life of financial wellness. To achieve your goals, you must have the right mindset. Work towards what you want and never give up.

      Go forth and be economically savvy!

      Dr. Tywanquila Walker

      PART I:

      THE MONEY

      CHAPTER ONE

      Three Basic Principles of

      Money Management

      Are you at peace with your financial life? Given that money and work are major stressors for most adults, your answer may not come as a surprise.

      Today, begin incorporating the three basic principles of money management into your life. The principles I discuss below are easy to follow. My instructions are simple.

      Getting into financial hardship is easy. Getting out is easier than you think. Follow these principles and get your financial life in order.

      1. Needs vs Wants

      Know your priorities. Clearly distinguish between your needs and your wants.

      Needs are life’s essentials that you cannot live without – think food, water, and shelter.

      Wants are things you wish for, or desire to have, but they are not essential for survival – think the latest phone, a luxury vehicle, or 200 pairs of shoes.

      Yes, you need clothes. But do you need designer clothes? Yes, you need food. But do you need the most expensive steak on the menu?

      There is nothing wrong with getting the things you want, as long as you have already thoroughly taken care of the things you need. Once you know the difference between your needs vs your wants, you can move on to basic money management principle number two.

      2. Budgeting

      Always have a budget. People who follow a budget are less likely to overspend.

      If you often wonder where your money
