Remember when you were in college? Ramen and mac-n-cheese were diet staples because you could hardly afford anything else. Well, you couldn’t afford anything but beer. 

Those days bring back fond memories. We buckled down when we needed. We took full class loads, crammed at the end of the semester for finals and still went out four nights a week. In addition, I held down a part-time job and worked 20 hours a week. This made me think of how when we really want to do something, we figure out how to do it. 

Being happy, healthy and wealthy doesn’t happen accidentally. As Napoleon Hill said, “No one drifts to success.” Being happy, healthy and wealthy are all things we can control. You may not go from being 20 pounds overweight, depressed and in debt to svelte, wildly rich and joyous overnight. You do, however, have the daily opportunity go further down the road to success.   

Last week was momentous for us. We released our third eBook, #MoneyConscious Financial Planning Guide: 12 Steps to a Richer You. We were elated to have friends and family purchase our book and watched it debut in the top 10 on iTunes’ “Business & Personal Finance” chart. Thanks to all those who supported us.
