I think people also need to take emotions out of the equation.
You have to be able to take a hard look at your self and be objective to save money and improve your net worth.

Personal Finance = Business?
Great metaphor!
Don’t forget about investing. This is a great way to expand our “business”.

Thinking of personal finance as a business makes a lot of sense, especially when it comes to employment. You are a vendor of hours that your company is purchasing at an agreed-upon rate. If you don’t like your rate, it only makes sense to try to increase it by asking for a raise.

Great post and thank you for including my article!

I’m always trying to work on the ‘earn more money’ part – I need to check out the resources you’ve listed. I feel like we’ve got our expenses pretty under control, now we just need more income!

The problem comes when we try and run our personal finances like a start-up business. We go get a bunch of debt to create an initial flux of cash flow. Then, only when we can’t afford the debt payments do we start to think about reducing costs. How much easier it would be if we started our finances without debt.
