Week 3...

As Dave asks, "If you managed money for You, Inc. the same way you manage money for you would you fire you?" Think about it.

Right about now is when you start to realize this isn't just fun and games, but it will really require real time, real effort, and real work! Financial Peace isn't a light-weight plan but requires you to do some heavy lifting.

If you were to make $1 million wouldn't you spend some time learning how to manage it? What should you do with that much money? What are wise things to do? What are stupid things to avoid? What will it take day-to-day to take care of that sum? Consider that over your working lifetime, you will undoubtedly make at least $1 million. That's right. Add it up. You will probably make quite a bit more than that.

You are doing the right thing by setting aside a mere 13 weeks to explore the issues surrounding money and sound management.

Fight through the cash flow planning forms if it isn't easy. Talk about money honestly and openly with your spouse if you are married. Do the hard work to make it work.

And keep coming to class! It will change your life! There is so much more to come, from insurance, to investing, from dealing with creditors to negotiating.

Are you going to do what it takes to win? I believe you will.
