Hitching up the Horses
I’d love to say that I’m jumping back in the financial saddle again, but I’m afraid a statement that bold will invite instant downfall. So lets just say that I’m cleaning tack and getting the horses ready.
For 2 years (guesstimate), I’ve stopped watching our finances. My head has been in the sand and it’s time to get it back out. We have some goals that we’ve been talking about eventually getting to, but they aren’t happening because we don’t have a real plan for how to make it happen. I’m considering doing the Dave Ramsey method for the next year to help get us in better financial shape. I’m not sure how the partner will feel about that method, but I know that he’s also feeling the strain of wackadasical finances.
I have some friends that are trying to come together to support each other for reaching their financial goals and am going to use this opportunity to get back to being honest about our money. Right now, the situation is pretty scary and it’s been that way for quite a while. I’ve been trying to hide it from myself and the partner and it’s time to get out of that destructive pattern.
So, hopefully I’ll be back here soon to give an honest assessment of where we’re at financially and where we want to be in the short-term.
