Be Stronger than Achilles



What is your financial Achilles Heel? Where is your weak spot?

What is the one (or two or ten) thing that is putting a major hurt on your budget?

Look through your spending, or in your driveway maybe, and figure out what is it that you keep spending money on that is dragging down your financial stability.

It could be one big thing; car, truck, boat, vacation home etc...

Or maybe it’s a bunch of smaller expenditures that add up over time; golfing every weekend, expensive hair salon visits, eating out, excessive actives for the kids or maybe a combination of things.


What is mine you ask?


But at least they are pretty. And as my wife says "for a mid-life crises, its better, and cheaper, than a 25 year-old blonde".

Those cars are one of the benefits of working from home. I do not need a newer reliable commuter car. These cars combined cost me less than a used Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. Plus they are fun to work on with the kids. We spent last summer redoing the interior of the white one. The boys got to learn some new skills and some new words.

At least that's how I'm justifying their purchase.

Remember, everyone has a weakness. Achilles, Superman...even Batman.
