How do you feel when you run out of money?
It rocks my world if my account misses the mark. I don't like to run through my cash before all of my issues are settled, do you?
Sometimes, money is more of a symptom than the money. Many people will tell you that all of their problems could be solved if they just had enough money. As the expression goes, "if money can fix it, it's not a problem" (sometimes attributed to Rita Davenport). There is often something deeper. There is a cause behind the cause of the limited money.
If the problem is money there's another problem hiding earlier in the chain.
Dig a little deeper. Discover the true cause. Or keep burning through the cash. The choice is up to you.
