management
So… I haven’t done anything but spend money since my last few posts. No budget, no checkbook balancing, nothing. I’ve been so busy! This is going to be harder than I thought…
Apparently time management is as important to money management as money management.
I have to make the time to manage the money, or it’s just like letting a lawn go crazy without ever trimming it. I’m feeling like my “money lawn” is looking really chaotic right now. It’s a new year, and I have new priorities that need to be taken care of. I can’t just let things go wild around here. I am the CFO of the household. If I don’t pay attention, and Mister Ant is trusting me to keep up with our business, then things can go bad. Really bad.
I got a call from my aunt today about refinancing her mortgage – she had a question about how it might work. I could tell from our conversation that she is the CFO of her household, too. She asked a really good question about the bank’s motivation for offering the refinance: “What’s in it for them?” I was inspired by the thought and care that she is putting into finding out whether the refinance makes sense for her family.
I’m going to get to work. I’ll do a little bit right now, and the full monty over the weekend.

Good Luck! Sometimes money managements needs so much time, I hate when I get behind.
