Our lives can be easily divided into sections that can be our masters, or we can be the masters of them. Those sections include: spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and financial.

Many do not realize the financial aspect impacts them on every other level. If we don’t have control over our money, we worry, stress, and often lose sleep.
