Country Music Song Survival (Emergency Fund Planning)

I always try to approach my financial and credit counseling from a behavior standpoint, often using materials I wrote a while back called, “It’s Not About Money”. A credit counselor similar to ones at debtconsolidation.com credit counseling can help you find the right solution to your financial problems and support you until you are debt-free. Why did I give it that title?  Simply put, personal finance has very little to do with money or math – it is about what you do with the gray stuff between your ears (your brain, for those of you who didn’t have to do the gross dissections in high school biology).  With that in mind, people always want to know how it is possible to survive without debt, even if there is an “emergency”.  The answer is one you’ve heard me proclaim before – an emergency fund.

Staying OUT of Trouble with the IRS

Ever wonder how long you should keep around all that paperwork about the washer and dryer you bought in 1978 and the car repair you had done on the car you sold 16 years ago? The IRS has its opinion and since I’m sure you completely trust the government to tell you exactly how to run your life, I guess this can be a short post. What?! You don’t trust them for that either? Hmmm…well, I guess we should discuss this idea briefly, then. What I’ve found works for me may not be what works for you, but it will give you an idea of some things you might try. I have a pretty simple system that follows these rules: [Read more…]

Powdered Butt Syndrome

There is a disease from which virtually every parent suffers.  It is called “Powdered Butt Syndrome.”  Simply put, Powdered Butt Syndrome is when your parents have the concept that since they powdered your butt, they don’t want your unsolicited advice about money.  I know this is true for two reasons: 1) I have parents and I’ve tried it and 2) I’ve heard about it and seen it before from others.  Very scientific of me coming to that conclusion, wasn’t it?  I’m commonly asked what you can do if you see your parents misbehaving with money.  You’ve probably tried to talk to them about money and offer your advice, and they roll their eyes or glaze over with the look that says, “I’m not listening to you; I still smell the baby powder I put on your butt 35 years ago.”  Maybe it’s because you’re totally broke and just think you have all the answers. Or maybe…just maybe…you really do have the answers for your parents’ financial woes!  This week, let’s talk about how to handle money with your parents. [Read more…]

You’ll either love this tip or hate it. 🤣⠀ You’ll either love this tip or hate it. 🤣⠀

If you hate it, just scroll on by. 🤍 But it was helpful to us. 🥰⠀
⠀
Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀
⠀
You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀
⠀
** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍
Time to add your own! I’ll go first! Girl, stop Time to add your own!

I’ll go first! Girl, stop hustling.

I’ll go again! Girl, eat a cookie. 🤣🤣

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀
⠀
But already we are coming out of darkness into His wonderful light and I can see - I can see the benefits of hard times. ⠀
⠀
New beautiful growth and hope. ❤️⠀
⠀
What is one benefit YOU have experienced from hard times?
This culture has nothing to offer our family.⠀
⠀
I lived for too long believing that hustle was to the benefit of this family. ⠀
⠀
God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀
⠀
No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀
⠀
Wow, only God did that. ⠀
⠀
The Myers aren’t building an empire. We are building our family, day by day. Tiny moment by tiny moment. 🤍
