Tip & Quotes of the Week July 2-9

Financial Independence
When you think of independence, you might think of being able to do whatever you want. Like when you first moved out on your own and thought you had arrived. Then of course reality hits when the bills come. I guess this goes along with last week's tip. Debt can not nor ever will give you financial independence. But this weekend as we celebrate our nation's independence, I want you to think about what real financial freedom would look like for you.

Homework:
Dream a little about what life would be like if you were completely debt free. For some of you this may seem too far away to think about or achieve. If that's the case, set goals and with persistence and focus you will eventually get there. If you need help making a map to that dream don't be afraid to ask. One of the most rewarding things about what I do is seeing hope return as we make a map together. My point is that if you don't have a plan to get where you want, how do you know how to get there?

"The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure of and sense in which he has attained liberation from self." Albert Einstein
