Money Talk Matters

It is soooo good to be back. I thought I would start this writing campaign off having loads of fun and giving a different look at things when it pertains to money. As a reader of Money Talk Matters, you should know by now that my approach is “not the norm” and it will look at things from a perspective you might not have thought of.

There is no reason that this post should be different. Let’s have fun. Look at the title: What is your M.M.O? Maybe you looked at that and said I have a HMO which is a health maintenance organization that provides healthcare or you have a PPO which is a preferred provider organization. At the end of the day, you had to choose your HMO or PPO or you chose neither one.

Are you curious as to what an M.M.O is? I am sure that many of you have heard of MO on different legal shows. This is what I want to ask you what is your Money Mode of Operation? When a money situation arise that you did not plan for – how do you handle it? Do you:
1) Get upset
2) Ignore it thinking it will disappear
3) Look at it and begin thinking of solutions
4) If you are married, do you blame the spouse
5) Fuss to friends about it hoping they will join “the pity party”

Think back to the last time you found out about a money situation that you did not know about. What was your response? Is this something that you would repeat or do you think you need to handle issues better?

Your Money Mode of Operation says a lot about who you are, how you handle money and what you think about money. If you are a person that does not like conflict, you should do everything that you can to make sure your finances are pretty much always in order.

If your Money Mode of Operation is to fly off the handle, scream to those around about the issue – know that at the end of the day, screaming DOES not solve the problem. As a matter of fact, it could create uneasiness to anyone that saw you “lose it”. Furthermore, the problem continues to remain and could grow to be an even bigger progblem later.

If you are Married and you do not know your Money Mode of Operation, I imagine your spouse does not either. It is time to sit down and begin talking about your finances. Establish financial goals with one another.

Know this, if you are not aware of your Money Mode of Operation begin thinking about it now. I am certain you will discover your Money Mode of Operation. After much thought, do you need to make an adjustment. I recommend you adjust where necessary and prepare yourself for your next money decision.

Good luck on finding out what your MMO is!
