Do you have a huge financial goal you’re chasing, but you’re not sure how to fit it in with everything you have going on right now?
Learn how you can be happy with your money and your life!
Finding a Healthy Balance with Your Money and Your LifeI find one of the biggest challenges when you’re working on family and financial goals is finding that balance.
It can be easy to go from one extreme to the other without even realizing it.
Before we started knocking out our debts, I wouldn’t say I gave much attention to finances.
However there’s this other extreme where you’re completely focused on your financial goals. It can get to the point where you say, ‘We’re going to do this when we pay this debt off, or have this much invested, or XYZ‘, you get the idea.
This approach can rob you of joy of the journey and can add undue stress to your family.
Taking care of your family and financial goals can be enjoyable and fun. It can also be more holistic, where you also improving different areas of your life including being more social, mental health, and more.
That’s why I’m thrilled Jason Vitug is on the show today. He’s the author of You Only Live Once, and his new one one, Happy Money Happy Life.

- share how you can make sure that you're enjoying the journey
