The harder you have to work for something, the more difficult it is to just let it go. At least that is how I am feeling in my life right now.
I have spent the better part of the last year working hard on building my personal credit. I have had strategies in place, and have been monitoring it closely.
The EFT train wreck this past week threatened to derail all my hard work...and I was not about to let that happen. I went on the offensive and made sure I covered all my bases, crossed my t's and dotted my i's. I am not about to let someone else's mistakes set me back on my financial goals.
I also feel that way about my physical goals. Since hiring a trainer, and getting my ass handed to me three days a week, I'm a lot more reluctant to eat things that may keep me from reaching my goals. Maybe if I had only been taking a diet pill that promised to do all the work for me, I would not be so determined. Instead, it costs me something personally and I am unwilling to have all that hard work be for nothing!
My point is, the harder you work for something, the more difficult it is to give in, or let someone else ruin it for you- that is true for our credit, and especially true for our financial futures ladies. It's easy to be comfortable, get by, easy to not make the effort or to hope someone or something else will fix it... been guilty of that myself.
You want to take control of your financial future? Make the effort, and keep after it. It does make a difference!
