Aaron's Two Cents: Aim at something

“If you aim at nothing you will hit it every time” — Zig Ziglar Aaron's Two Cents: Aim at Something The reason people fail when trying to change their behavior with money is because they haven't figured out why they want to change their behavior with money. You need to have a good reason to budget, stop buying stupid crap, stop eating out...etc. The more specific the better. If not, the second it gets hard or inconvenient you'll go back to your old ways. I'll give you some good and bad examples. Bad reasons to change: "I feel broke..." "I want to impress my friends..." Good reasons to change: "My wife wants to stay at home to raise our kids." "I want to purchase a home to raise our family in."

Spend 20 minutes with your spouse today over dinner and talk about what you want from life. Dream a little. What would be possible if debt wasn't holding you back? Want to talk through it together?

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much" - Hellen Keller Aaron's Two Cents: My wife, the draft horse If you've ever been on a call with me, you've heard my favorite analogy about couples working together on their finances. One draft horse (think Budweiser) can pull 8,000 pounds on it's own. You would think that two horses connected together could pull 16,000 pounds. It makes sense, but it's wrong. Two draft horses that have trained together and pull in the same direction can...
