Finances

When I was growing up we never talked about money.

It just wasn’t a topic of discussion. Even now it is thought to be a taboo subject.

Have you ever talked about money with your friends? Nope, you just don’t go there.

For most people it’s a private thing. And I get it. Nobody wants to admit they’re bad with money.

My parents did everything they could to provide us with the best life possible. They had four daughters. My dad was a school teacher. My mom was also a school teacher but decided to stay home after I was born.

See that guy above? That’s Dave Ramsey. He’s the new man in my life. Or I should say OUR lives. Naaman and I took a leap of faith and enrolled in Financial Peace University.

We finally have a plan to get our finances in order. I am tired of being stressed about money and bills and the future. I am tired of worrying about what is in store for my boys’ futures. I am tired of working so hard and not being able to pursue our dreams. We want to control our money. Not having money controls us.
