The game of money is very similar to anything else that we experience in life. If you want more of it, you have to be able to show that you can handle whatever it is that you've already got. Unless you can prove this, you will not be able to get any more.

In order to handle whatever it is that you're currently making, you need to have a very simple and manageable budgeting strategy. This will enable to categorize all of your spending habits and see in which areas you can "cut the fat" and make the most of your current income.

The main purpose of your budgeting strategy should be to pay yourself first. Before you make any bill payments, before you start spending your money on leisure items, you have to put a certain amount of money away for your future. The default figure is 10% of any income that you make.

This 10% figure applies to any and all income that you make, even income that comes in from your retirement account. When you get into the habit of consistently saving 10% of your money, you will be in a position that you will never run out of money.

For many people, 10% of their income isn't a great deal of money. However, if this money is consistently put aside and it's working for you on compound interest, it will shortly begin to accumulate to a large sum of money.

Having 10% less to spend is something that you will need to get accustomed to. It will feel a bit uncomfortable towards the beginning but after a short while you won't even notice that you are putting that 10% aside. You will learn to adjust your spending habits to match your new income level.

Budgeting your money consistently will cause the universe to help you attract more money into your life. This is ultimately a side effect of the Law of Attraction which states that you will attract into your life whatever it is that you're already thinking and doing... saving more money and in essence making more money.

Not only will you be earning more money because of the compounding interest, but the Law of Attraction will cause the universe to show you more and more ways of creating more income.
