• If your WHY is strong enough, you will figure out how!

My WHY is what kept me going through the journey.

It kept me going when I felt frustrated, tired, and ready to throw in the towel.

But because of my Why I am able toโ€ฆ

1.  Not fear for job security.  I have a solid financial plan and savings to 
2.  Travel and create experiences for my family without worry of how I will pay for them 
3.  Leave a legacy for my children and my future grandchildren.

But most importantly because of my WHY and achieving financial freedom, it has inspired me to help lead others through their own personal journey and teach them how they can achieve financial freedom as well.

So share with me what is your WHY? .

  • How do you stay motivated through your journey?

One of the things I like to recommend my clients to do is to create a visual reminder of their progress, it is something that is a simple and effective way to stay motivated on your debt payoff or even saving journey!

I donโ€™t know about you but there is something satisfying when you start to see those visual representations filling up as you pay off your debt.

Now make sure you keep that visual reminder in a place that you can look at on a consistent basis. 
Some great locations would be inside your closet, office, or nightstand.

These are a great location that is easily accessible but not out in the open for everyone to see! 
So share with me, do you have a visual reminder for your goals? 
How do you like to budget? Are you a paper and pencil type of gal?

  • Letโ€™s keep it simple friends!๐Ÿ“โฃ
โฃ
When it comes to budgeting, you donโ€™t have to use a fancy spreadsheet or a budget binder or not even a planner! Pencil and paper will work just fine!โฃ
โฃ
The important part is to just get started, donโ€™t make it too complicated because thatโ€™s the last thing you want when learning ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ. Trust me you will want to keep it ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ!โฃ
โฃ
So first thing first, figure out how much money do you bring in as well as what your bills and debt payments are with the due dates.โฃ
โฃ
From there, create a system that works best for ๐˜๐Ž๐”! โฃ
โฃ
For me, I started with paper budgets and as I became comfortable with my budget I started to nerd out using ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ด that I have automated over the years.

  • Facing your financial truth can be scary.โฃ
โฃ
It can be hard to truly face your financial truth. To really open the closet door and pull all those skeletons out and admit that you havenโ€™t been the best at managing your finances. โฃ
โฃ
It is hard to admit that you โ€œ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅโ€ as an adult and don not know how to properly budget. That you donโ€™t even know how much debt you really owe. But when you face your truth it gives you a sense of feeling free. You no longer have hide and keep up with lies. You get to own your ๐“๐‘๐”๐“๐‡ and set new financial goals for your familyโ€™s future!โฃ
