Some people think that accounting is best left alone to accountants. I disagree. Your financial position says a lot about where you are heading. It works the same for an individual or a corporation. In fact astute, financially minded people consider their estate like a business.

The subtle equilibrium in your finances between what you owe and what you own may not be changing day after day in a striking fashion. Looking at it in the right timeframe though will expose some trends you need to be aware of.

In money matters, ignorance is no excuse. These things have a way to spring back on you at the worst possible time.

Financial matters have the knack of creeping up on you in discreet ways. If you fail to pick up the trend early enough it can be quite overwhelming to correct the situation.

You think you are cruising nicely on your way to financial independence when unknown to you something behind the scene is eating away at your savings. There are scores of deceitful hidden costs lurking behind various transactions which over time will rob you of your hard earned cash. Other times you are the culprit by indulging in items you could do without for the sake of convenience and impatience.

The only way you will be able to find out early enough is by keeping your personal accounts up to date. Don't wait for the end of the financial year to realise if you made a profit or a loss this year - you need to know that today!
