How To- Tackle Your Finances (even when it seems overwhelming)

This is why I love to push mow my lawn.

Even though it is an acre…

Even though every year I get stung by wasps… and mosquitos…and branches that have watched The Wizard of Oz one too many times…

Because I never know what I am going to find.

Finances can be like that.

Yes, you could outsource your personal bookkeeping to someone else, such as your spouse, partner, or parent…

Yes, you can ignore it and let nature take its course…

Yes, you can automate everything so you do not have to look at it…

Or, you can take the time to really get to know your finances.

Look closely and see all the little differences…

See how things grow in various conditions… some better in one, others better in another…

See how some things take a little longer to grow…

Experiment, make mistakes, keep trying and learning and growing.

Yes, push mowing an acre of lawn is a little overwhelming when you first start (especially on a hot summer’s day), but, just like finances, if you take one step at a time and enjoy all the little things along the way you will find you have reached your goal in no time.

And you will be stronger for it.
