Josh Cook, of Family Finance Works, shares his story on Think Enriched!
We look at:
Josh shares his story The low feeling he experienced when making poor money choices Kids bring an extra layer of financial accountability Why he decided to get a blog out into the world (it wasn't his choice) Avoiding the "Squirrel Syndrome." Distractions are everywhere. Saving is a discipline. You've got to be future oriented to achieve your goals. Find those people who help you improve your life. You can improve the lives of those around you. Build those friends up. Serve others and build them up. How they do The Family Budget. The routine they use to incorporate the goals within the budget. Pay the bills manually. See the money go out. "Make the spending hurt and the saving easy." Have a relationship with your money. Watch the small things- they add up and can bite ya at month's end. He's a spread sheets guy with a less detail-oriented wife. How does that work? The toughest conversation to get going is a money conversation. Don't take it personally. It's teamwork situation. "Small improvement is progress." "It takes time to build the discipline." A budget does not mean you're being punished. How an abundance mindset affects your budget. Generosity is important to implement in the process. Teaching the kids to give to others helps develop that abundance mindset. Give children opportunity to decide how to use money. Example: Josh's children's success with a lemonade stand. And what they did with the money they earned. The blanket of negativity that holds you back. How to become a more positive person. Too many are hopeless with their finances. How that person can get the perspective. "Keep it simple. Spend less than you make. There's always hope and help for you."Resources mentioned:
