- Finances aren’t taught when growing up from parents or school
- Most don’t have income problems, it’s a spending problem
- What are your payments?
- Freedom and being in charge when you’re debt-free and sitting on cash
- Credit scores will go down as you have cards paid off and stop using as much-
- Buyers remorse and financial stress with a spouse
- People are twice as likely to get divorced with 10k in debt and zero dollars in savings
- We need to teach our team that we can't outrun debt with higher salaries.
- Finances aren't a 1 conversation session
- Little debt leads to a lot of debt
- Never intermingle personal and business funds together
- For those of us who have financial planners, invite them to host a lunch and learn about the positive impacts of investing. Host a book club and read books about finances and investing.
- John offers business math and personal math courses and Dave Ramsey course
- Second round they are welcome to bring their spouse or partner.
- They are not required to bring exact numbers but should know what they own and what they owe.
- They should know what they take home from all sources and what their housing, food, credit card payments etc are.
- They do a net worth calculation, an income, and an expense list to determine cash flow (either positive or negative) then fund reserve and investments.
- They recommend a 6-month reserve for critical expenses and an investment piggy bank. Investing is in round 3 when they have money to invest.
