The _Money System_ That Changed My Life Forever 30-min Class

In this episode, I shared my preferred method of organizing money using multiple accounts.  Let's discuss the importance of having separate accounts for different purposes, starting with small amounts. This is based on my own experience of having money saved up for unexpected expenses, in which I recommend setting up multiple bank accounts. Yes, that's correct! Seventeen bank accounts for various business and personal uses—tips on allocating funds, paying taxes, and ensuring proper financial management. That is why I created a PDF download that you can get from my website so you can set it as an example for yourself. Just go to https://www.keithkalfas.com/budget.
