Like love, financial freedom (no debt, the ability to spend and/or save however YOU prioritize) is a DAILY choice.
MANY times each day, YOU have to ask the question, “Is this thing/experience I’m about to spend (any amount of) money on going to put me CLOSER to or FARTHER from my financial goals and our family’s priorities?”
If you can’t say “closer to” then odds are, you need to pass on spending money on that thing.
Even 1.00. Even 75 cents.
Those little spends ALL ADD UP (faster than you might realize). Don’t allow yourself to play the victim of your circumstances – past or present.
Take charge of your own future, and make a PLAN to get your finances under control.
Show your money who is boss.
HINT: It’s you. YOU ARE THE BOSS OF YOUR MONEY.
What is the hardest part of this concept for you?
Where does it feel impossible?
Which part makes you feel overwhelmed, scared, and/or like giving up and just resigning to BE IN DEBT forever?
