Thursday Thoughts

Remember your goals! Establish your "why". WHY are you doing this? Why are you getting weird looks in the grocery store check-out like Tina does, counting bills out of a paper envelope? Why am I explaining that I can write a $1,000 cheque for an emergency on demand but don't own a credit card "for emergencies"? And that it's not the same to HAVE $1,000 of free credit as it is to have $1,000 in the bank? Because I want to own paid for real estate. Because I want Tina to be able to point anywhere on a map and be able to pay cash to take her there. Because I've got stuff to do! I don't want to retire an old man. Because Christina wants a 3 to 6 month cash emergency fund so we're never tempted to borrow again. Because we want Hana Jane to be a student without a student loan. Close your eyes, envision what comes next. You can do this - AND it's really hard.
