Send us a textChallenge time………starting today…….interact with your budget and don't be afraid to make as many changes and updates as you need to, but remember that you guardrails are your income for the period that you are budgeting.  A simple way to get started is to make next month's budget with this month's income, and keep using that pattern until you have your emergency fund in place.  This will give you a little extra cushion, and you will never have to worry that your account is going to run out.  Then find a coach and build a plan to achieve higher levels of financial fitness.  If you're starting out, get a coach…you need one, and it's better than guessing yourself into financial ruin……if you don't know where to start, you will find a link to my coaching page in the show notes.  I would be honored to work with you once, or as many times as it takes to help you build a plan and build the confidence you need to build wealth and keep it!Raymond House Financial CoachingFinancial Fitness PodcastBuzzsprout Promo LinkBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Send us a textWe all have one, and it changes with us during the various stages of life that we all go through.  Here are the 6 principles that I reference in this episode....Build you budget starting with income, and funding your needs until all the income is consumedLive on less than you earnPrioritize the 4 walls (as outlined in Financial Peace University)Get the whole family involved in decisions (singles find friends and family that will support your goals)Goal Setting - Set goals that align with your values and actions that align with your goalsIf there is something in your life that is causing you to stumble or revert to bad habits…..remove it from your life (this is sometimes a scary or difficult thing to do, but it is necessary to continue to grow and improve your financial & emotional fitness)I strongly encourage you to start identifying your personal financial philosophy and ensure that your goals align with your values and your actions align with your goals.If you have questions and would like to schedule a consultation to see if financial coaching is right for you, then I invite you to use the links below to schedule your first session and get started today.Raymond House Financial CoachingFinancial Fitness PodcastBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Send us a textAdmittedly, this one is out of order, but it’s good timing, and I think changing the sequence of this episode content with the future episode on budgeting will help this one make more sense when I refer to it later.When I talk about budgeting with a new client they often times get tense, or start to fear the idea that if they budget it will mean that they can't spend any money on things they WANT.  That may be the case for some, however, it is certainly not what I have found to be the norm.  I encourage regular interaction with your budget throughout the month, and this episode focus's on one of those interactions…….The Mid-Month Rebalance.A few things to rememberGet started NOWThere are always unplanned expensesIts never perfectDo this together……find someone you can trust and invite them into this conversation"Find simplicity on the other side of complexity"……simplify your plan and update it oftenWorking together with a trusted partner will always yield better results.  Find someone you can trust to walk through this journey with you, and if you need some addition guidance and encouragement, I would be honored to work with you one-on-one as your financial coach to help you achieve your goals.  A link to my website is below, and you can contact me, or schedule time with we there.   You can do this, and a coach can help.  Good luck and I look forward to hearing from you!Raymond House Financial CoachingFinancial Fitness PodcastBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Send us a textWhat this episode is NOT.......I am in no way suggesting that everyone needs to assess their worth and quit their job.  That may be the case for some, but for most there will be a moment of clarity and opportunity that comes from the self and market assessments described in this episode.I know that there will be many reactions to this episode, and I think that is why it was so important that I got this one published and out there.  We should all understand our value and be empowered to take necessary action to fully recover that value from the market as compensation.  This may not all be monetary, but there needs to be a healthy balance between the work being done and the emotional response for the effort associated with it.Take the time to fully understand your value in your given work environment, and be encouraged to align that with the priorities you have for your family and your future goals.  Take action today to begin the journey that aligns healthy goals with appropriate compensation, and don't be surprised if you find that there is a gap.  This should be viewed as motivating, because it means there is opportunity right in front of you.....if you are willing to ask for it!Here is a link to the 30 question assessment that I refer to in this episode (Note: this was from the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill).Website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1858460Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Send us a textI battle with this everyday, and today I was encouraged during what could have been a difficult conversation with my son.  The result was a true teachable moment for both of us, so I am sharing with all of you.  I have learned not to be surprised by these little moments anymore, but I am still so humbled by how amazingly insightful a child's heart is if we just take the time to listen.
