Excerpts

As you begin this ten-week program, keep in mind that you are beginning a process-a process that takes time, homework and commitment. You have spent years getting to where you are now financially-ten weeks is a minimal investment for lifetime results. Most people don't arbitrarily decide to seek financial counsel. Developing a financial plan or a family budget is not usually included on someone's list of ten favorite leisure activities! Something prompts their action: a death, a sudden increase or decrease in income, or financial difficulties, to name a few. Whatever serves as the catalyst for your decision, I've found it is usually helpful to take a look inward before looking outward.
