Our financial situations impact every part of our lives. But why is it so tempting to bury our heads in the sand about it all? Especially when we KNOW that being informed and looking frankly at our expenditures is the only way to improve our situation, create forward momentum, and spend (or save) appropriately.
And having kids means it’s that much more important to have your eyes open to where you are, where you’d like to be, and how you might get there.
We have some Collin County Moms who’ve been serious about their finances for a while now and want to share their tips and experiences. This financial health series is designed to be a jumping off point, if you need one. Read these posts with your partner and come up with your own plans. Or, if you’re in charge, use this series as motivation to learn and set goals.
