Savings are at an all-time-low Questions That Deserve Our Attention:
Are our jobs/careers consuming more time than expected? Would our lifestyle change if we increased our time and financial resources? Are there charities in need of our financial support? Are we prepared for our childrens higher educational needs (private school/university)? Does our family own the automobile(s) they need and desire? Would we choose to live in a different home/location? Is our debt load putting our family under stress? Where would our family be if I could no longer provide for them? |
