Sometimes the stars align and you get an opportunity to do the right thing and it's easy. But more often, one supersedes the other and it requires a proactive and conscious effort to choose to do the right thing.
This is especially true when it comes to your finances. It's always much easier to get the immediate gratification of spending than to save. I was truly inspired the other day when I watched this story about a family of four who are DEBT-FREE and live on one teacher's salary of $40k.
I'm sure it can't be easy, but they did what was right for them and their family. And they are raising their kids to be financially aware as well; the kids have to divide their allowance into 3 jars: one for spending, one for saving and one for giving. What a fantastic lesson!
Every day we have to make decisions that will impact our future. Will you take the easy road, or will you do what's right?
