Turning Struggles into Wins: Your 5-Step Game Plan
The Hidden Power of Your Everyday Money Decisions
Ever feel like you’re just trying to survive until the next paycheck? Like there’s no space to think about retirement, or buying a home, or even taking a real vacation?
You’re not alone.
A lot of people I work with feel this way—like they’re on a hamster wheel just trying to keep up with bills, car payments, and the random “surprises” life throws their way. And when you're stuck in that cycle, dreaming about the future can feel… well, kind of unrealistic.
But here’s what I’ve seen, time and time again: the small, faithful choices you make today? They’re what set you up for those big, exciting wins later.

The Car Payment Myth: Why You Don’t Have to Live With It
Is a Car Payment Really Avoidable?
For many people, a car payment feels as inevitable as paying rent or buying groceries. It’s just part of adulting, right?

But what if I told you that you don’t have to live with a car payment?

But then, the more you pour, the faster it leaks! Suddenly, you’re in a never-ending battle, scooping water like a madman, just trying to keep the bucket half full! No matter how much water you add, you can never quite get ahead, leaving you standing in a muddy mess with no bucket of water.
Where Are Your Shoes?
The Key to Unlocking the Joy of Budgeting
My nearly two-year-old daughter loves being outside. Whether she’s digging in the dirt, rocking in her chair on the back porch, or being pushed in the tree swing by her big sister, her face lights up at the mention of going outdoors. The moment she hears we’re headed outside, she races through the house, grabs her shoes, and with a huge smile, brings them to me to put on. What amazes me the most is how she always knows exactly where her shoes are. She might forget where her water bottle is or misplace the cap to her marker, but her shoes? She finds them without fail—every time.
