Why Money Feels So Complicated
For many people, money feels overwhelming.
Even successful professionals and business owners often feel like they’re doing everything they’re supposed to do financially — yet something still feels unclear.
They’re working hard.
They’re earning good money.
But they still ask questions like:
- “Where is my money actually going?”
- “Why does it feel like I should be further ahead?”
- “Am I making the right financial decisions?”
In my experience as a financial coach, many people are living in what I call the Money Fog.
It’s that frustrating place where finances feel confusing, scattered, and difficult to understand.
You’re making decisions… but you’re not always sure if they’re the right ones.
The truth is, most people don’t have a money problem.
They have a clarity problem.
What a Rubik’s Cube Revealed About Money
The other day I picked up a Rubik’s Cube.
At first glance it looked like complete chaos.
Colors everywhere.
Nothing lined up.
No obvious place to start.
If you’ve ever picked one up and started twisting it randomly, you know what usually happens.
It gets worse before it gets better.
And as I held that cube, I had a thought.
This is exactly how many people feel about their finances.
When Money Feels Like a Scrambled Puzzle
Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of families, professionals, and business owners.
Most of them are doing their best financially.
They’re trying to:
- Pay down debt
- Save for the future
- Invest wisely
- Provide for their families
But despite all that effort, their financial life still feels messy.
Like the Rubik’s Cube.
They try something.
Move money around.
Open a new account.
Pay extra toward a loan.
And sometimes it feels like their financial picture becomes more confusing instead of clearer.
Why?
Because they don’t yet see the structure behind the system.
The Rubik’s Cube Method of Money
Most people don’t realize something important about a Rubik’s Cube.
It’s not random.
It follows specific rules.
The center square determines the color of each side.
The pieces move in predictable patterns.
Once someone explains the structure, something interesting happens.
The cube stops feeling impossible.
In fact, many people can learn to solve one in about an hour once they understand the system.
The cube didn’t change.
Their understanding did.
Money works the same way.
The 3 Layers of the Rubik’s Cube Method of Money
Just like solving a Rubik’s Cube, building financial clarity happens one layer at a time.
Step 1: Find the Center (Financial Clarity)
Every side of a Rubik’s Cube is built around the center square.
The center determines the entire structure.
In your finances, the “center” is cash flow clarity.
You need to understand:
- What money is coming in
- Where money is going
- What your financial priorities are
Without this clarity, financial decisions feel random.
This is why the first step of financial mastery is organization.
Step 2: Solve One Layer at a Time (Financial Systems)
Once you understand the structure of the cube, you don’t try to solve everything at once.
You solve it layer by layer.
Money works best the same way.
Instead of trying to fix everything at once, you build simple systems that guide your financial life.
This includes:
- Organized accounts
- Clear cash flow management
- Strategic debt decisions
- Intentional savings
This is where your financial life becomes systemized.
Step 3: Practice Until It Becomes Simple (Wealth Creation)
Once someone understands how the Rubik’s Cube works, something surprising happens.
It becomes easy.
What once looked impossible becomes predictable.
Money works the same way.
When your finances follow a clear structure, you can begin focusing on:
- Optimizing financial decisions
- Building investments
- Turning surplus cash flow into long-term wealth
This is where financial progress accelerates.
The Financial Framework That Simplifies Everything
Over the years I’ve developed a framework that helps people bring clarity and structure to their finances.
I call it the OSOM Money Method.
It stands for:
- Organize
- Systemize
- Optimize
- Maximize
This framework creates a clear path for managing money and building wealth.
When people apply these principles, something powerful happens.
The Money Fog begins to lift.
Financial decisions become simpler.
Confidence replaces confusion.
The First Step Toward Financial Clarity
Many people think the first step toward financial freedom is investing.
It’s not.
The first step is organization.
You must first understand:
- Your income
- Your spending
- Your cash flow
- Your financial priorities
Once you clearly see your financial picture, you gain the power to improve it.
As the old principle goes:
What you track, you can improve.
