There's a theory that we can never successfully break bad habits unless we trade them out for a good one. So in that spirit, each month, we Foulmouths are going to focus on a new financial habit.
January's habit is simple, but not necessarily easy. It's like stepping on the scale after the holidays. You don't want to, I don't want to, but we can't really expect to go somewhere if we don't know where we're starting. Since you probably check your email and you Facebook first thing in the morning anyway, starting today, you're going to Check Your Damn Balance.
I know, we'd all rather ignore it. We'd rather assume we're fine until we're not- but we're making changes here, and we have to face the reality that we weren't fine to begin with, Suck it up, Buttercup, head to your bank's website, and go check it out. I'll wait right here.
All right then. How are you holding up? It probably wasn't fun, but you did it, and now you know. That number isn't your personal worth. It's just the money you have to work with. It's almost certainly less than you'd like it to be. That's okay. We're here to start getting our shit together.
