I love watching This Old House. However, the key phrase is watching. Because when it comes to actually working on projects around “My Old House”, I am useless. I lack the skills and the ability to apply the knowledge I gain. Thus, I quickly become impatient and overwhelmed. The result, I often ignore the problem, so a small maintenance can turn into a larger repair. Maybe, your home isn’t crumbling into disrepair. However, can you say the same thing about your financial house?

  • Keep learning, never stop learning, and try to find one tip and apply it. Get some success, find a second tip and apply. Continue to do this and build momentum.
