FMOOD 0171: Getting Back on Track
Sometimes you end up taking a few steps back on this journey out of debt, but that doesn't mean that you can't make up for it by taking several steps forward once again. When we fall behind on things or stop our progress towards our goals completely, we need to get ourselves back on track. Believe it or not, this happens more often than you realize and to tons of people, myself included. I found several things that weren't exactly running smoothly with our household's personal financial situation. Communication is key in a marriage when it comes to money, and I have been feeling lately that the communication between my wife and me hasn't been on par. It's not that we're not working on the budget and trying to save money, it's just that the headlines aren't being brought out into the open and discussed as needed. I don't need to talk about every single detail with her, but I do need to get better at providing her with high-level overview headlines that she can easily refer to throughout the month to see where things are at. It's okay to press the reset button sometimes. It's okay to revamp things a bit for the greater good of your own get-out-of-debt plans. If you identify an issue and don't address it, you'll end up causing more harm than good. It's best to realize that there's a problem, address it properly, and get back on track.
