On Paper We Do Have Enough – Part 1<\/h2>\n

How do you know if you have enough money to pay the bills? \u00a0You always know when you don\u2019t have enough. \u00a0You might be surprised at what you can find out about your money if you put the numbers down on paper. \u00a0\u00a0You might find that you have enough. \u00a0Now for the real question…<\/p>\n

What do you do when you have enough, but it feels like there\u2019s not?<\/span><\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re like most you ignore your finances and believe that the problems will eventually go away or correct itself. \u00a0Maybe if and when you made more money, the problem would resolve itself?<\/p>\n

\"\"Can I make you aware of something? \u00a0Most people year-over-year make more money than they did the previous year, yet we still find ourselves having money issues. \u00a0I would like you for just a second to remove the idea that more money would resolve your money issues. \u00a0We need another solution. \u00a0This problem is bigger than making more money.\u00a0 The problem, I hate to say it, is you and it\u2019s not going anywhere on its own.<\/p>\n

Pamela and I finally got our numbers under control. \u00a0We got to the point where our expenses were less than our income.<\/a>\u00a0 Now on paper we make more than enough, we asked the question, how do we handle it? \u00a0You see left to our own, we\u2019d end up back in the position we\u2019re trying to crawl out of. \u00a0We decided to become athletes in a sport designed to take all our money from us. \u00a0That means we must exercise, practice and most important get better. \u00a0No matter how great an athlete or team may be, there is always room for improvement. \u00a0The same is true in the game of life with a family, especially a family\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n

Let me disarm a misconception. \u00a0Just because you\u2019ve decided to improve your finances doesn\u2019t always mean you can\u2019t spend your money. \u00a0You can and you\u2019re going to no matter what any financial coach or adviser may say. \u00a0I want to show you how to spend with a plan. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because no one showed me and we have made every major mistake with money known to man. Don\u2019t be like us, be better than us.<\/p>\n

Today is Friday!
\nIn our next post, we will get started by listing all our expenses and their monthly amounts. \u00a0\u00a0This is key. \u00a0You need to see what this looks like and see the total number for yourself. \u00a0This exercise in itself will make you want to do something about it. \u00a0\u00a0When you see where you spend what, you will rethink your spending habits.<\/p>\n
