Making Good Decisions-Good decision making means first evaluating, exploring and then selecting the best options. Many couples I see for counseling experience problems related to poor financial decisions and unwise time management. There are a limited number of hours in the day. I believe it is extremely difficult and risky to spend 12 hours of the day working on the job and still expect to be fully engaged with the family. That leaves 12 hours, within which time, our bodies and minds need rest and sleep. So, say you sleep 6 hours, you work 12 hours, which leaves 6 hours for managing the home, raising the kids, and cultivating your marriage relationship. I’m sure it can be done, but at what toll? At whose expense? Do the ends justify the means?
Bookstores and seminars are brimming with financial advice and guidance so I won’t go into that here. But let’s face the facts. It doesn’t take an economist to know you cannot spend more than is earned in terms of household income and expect financial success and carefree living.
