More Life Lessons for our Boys

Published: Aug. 27, 2021, 8:10 p.m.

I know over the years we have family learning lessons. A lot of the lessons we had recapped and put in our book called \u201cMoney Secrets to Make You Rich\u201d. But you are now almost 20 and 16 years old and you are going to be going out into the world with us to have family learning time with you. Please know Mom and Dad love you both a ton and we will always be here for any advice or as a sounding board for you both. It is your time now to take action for your future. We can talk about it all we can but now is your time to decide what type of life you want to have.

Good Friends

\n

Remember most people are lucky to have a few truly good friends in life. I know you think your Xbox friends and School friends are your good friends but will they do the following for you in life?

\n

1. Let you live with them if they were homeless?

\n

2. Be your best supporter of you and your Business?

\n

3. Help you grow and push you to be a better person?

\n

4. Travel to see you at least once a year if you live far from each other?

\n

5. Help you find a job if you were out of work?

\n

6. Be there if you were really sick?

\n

7. Be there if you need help with a big home project?

\n

8. Be there if you are moving?

\n

These are just a few items to think about. Also, a good friend would bring up doing this thing for you without you having to ask. Remember things are all a two-way street and ask your self what kind of friend are you? Same goes for relatives, would they do the above things for you all the time. Also, not all relatives will be there for you in the above ways. My Dad was my biggest supporter until I met your mom.

We hope our boys will give 100% towards any of there goals. For instance if Seth wants to make the Navy his career that he would start today eating better, working out, going for runs, going to the Navy Recruiters office to check in and see what he should be learning, joining Navy recruits group, watch You tube videos on Navy topics, practice swimming, read books on the Navy and more. Then he would be ready to go into Bootcamp at full strength and ahead of others because he prepared in advance.

If you need more help, I can help with my Coaching service. I just want to help people have less stress about their Financial Future or their Retirement plans and spend more time enjoying life.

\u201cThe definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results\u201d. By Albert Einstein. I would also say the definition of insanity is believing you can live a financial responsible life without tracking how you are doing, having a budget and goals. I like following others who track their finances to compare our also. I enjoy helping people with their finances and goals.

\n

We want to give our boys the best chance to have their money last them thru their retirement years and have them reach their Financial Freedom goals. They need to live somewhat with a frugal mindset and spend less than they make so they can Invest towards their Financial Freedom goals. The boys will need to maybe put off Net Flix or buying a New Video game or going to the movies until they are on the path to Financial Freedom. Love Mom and Dad
