Bills, Bills, Bills! How am I going to pay all my bills? My car broke down and I don’t have the money to fix it! How can I afford a week vacation in between assignments? These are some of the things I hear on a frequent basis. Many travel professionals are masterful at planning their finances, while others have some trouble. In either scenario, we can always improve. While everyone’s situation and circumstances are different, there are some basic guidelines everyone could take an advantage of (or at least get a refresher on). Coming off a stressful 2009, I think most can agree that this is something that is a great refresher for all!
I must stress that I’m not a financial planner and I’m not YOUR financial planner. I would just like to give you some topics to think about as well as some links you could check out. Just to clarify, Aureus Medical is not associated with any of these websites. I have run across them on the internet (out of the 1000s of articles) and thought they were helpful.
