The Beginning….

One day I realized I had a big problem. Well, I’d actually realized it a long time ago, but like the proverbial ostrich, I’d stuck my head in the sand and proceeded to pretend it wasn’t anything I had to deal with right now. But then one day I saw what I was doing. If you were to ask me what my bank balance was, or what my credit card balance was, or when my next payment was due…you know, basic questions, I would not have an answer for you. Why was this? I made ok money, but I had a laissez faire attitude about how I managed it. I would spend willy nilly with no idea of how much I spent each week. I would travel and max out my credit card mid trip and wonder why. I would nickle and dime myself with coffee purchases and lunches out on a daily basis. I don’t know…but one day I saw my fear for what it was. I was looking away instead of looking directly at my actions and the consequences. It was a big moment for me. This blog is my journey through my small steps and small accomplishments toward becoming a money management badass. I’m not there yet, but I know I will be there some day. I’ve already read some books and have had lots of good info from family members and friends. I will share all this in subsequent posts. I hope you will walk with me as I document my journey from ostrich to badass.
