Be honest now. How many worries in your life are related to money?
Sure, not all. But a few, right?
Have you got a mortgage? Did you know it’s a French word meaning death (mort) grip (gage)? It’s culturally acceptable in New Zealand to be in the death-like grip of debt.
Add on to that other things we think we need, like a new (or as new-as-possible) car, SKY TV, sports equipment, beach house, boat and an overseas holiday while the kitchen is being remodelled, and we wonder why we might have some money concerns.
If you could, would you turn back the clock and change some decisions if it would make some of those money worries disappear? I would. I’d be stupid not to.
Here’s the trick though: altering one bad decision won’t be enough. Why? Because I made a bad call based on a certain perspective on a money and until I change that perspective, I will repeat the same mistake in new ways.
And here’s another trick – while our past is fixed (sorry, you can’t go back and change it) if you have children, then your present situation does not need to be their future. What a gift it would be to influence how your children think about money so their decision-making in the future will be consistently better and more life-giving than your own.
The next bit I’m happy to say is NOT a trick – we can help you. Or more specifically, finance expert, author and public speaker and CEO of Wisemoney Phil Strong, can help you, and we will have the pleasure of his presence at Chapel Hill for a workshop on helping you raise money-wise children.
For only $10, he will open the door to why you approach money the way you do, and what can be done now to help your children make better choices by seeing the issues more clearly.
In other words, to help your children, he’s going to have to help you. A shame really, but it’s all you can get for $10 these days. Don’t book in, just show up!
