You don’t need a crisis to start planning. But most people wait for one anyway. About 7 months ago, my car broke down. This wasn’t a quick fix. I had to go buy a new car. Did I think this would happen at some point? Of course. Did I think it would happen so soon? No. My car broke down on the way to an appointment. It started smoking. I had to call a tow truck and have my assistant pick me up from the dealership. It’s moments like this that should be your reminder to SAVE for the unexpected. No, I wasn’t planning on buying a car anytime soon. However, I had no choice. We can’t see the future. However, you can plan for the unexpected. Think about it… would one unexpected emergency derail your budget? If the answer is yes, it’s time to speak with someone. Don’t let emergency undo everything you’ve worked so hard to build. 📌Have any unexpected expenses come up recently? ---------------- Hi, I'm Jon Dannecker!

The longer you avoid your finances, The harder it feels to start. Most avoid their financials at all costs. Won’t open their bank account. Won’t calculate their overall spending. Why? Maybe you were never taught the financial basics. Maybe finances were a sensitive topic. Maybe you grew up in a household where discussing finances was “rude.” There are SO many reasons as to why. However, it’s so crucial to have these open conversations. With your loved ones, children, etc… These conversations will have to happen at some point. There is no getting around it. Why not have it now? I’ve been in your position. Not wanting to talk about it. Avoiding it at all costs. It’s not as bad as we think. We put it on this high pedestal. In reality, it’s an easier conversation than we thought. Is it hard to get started? Yes. However, the hardest part is STARTING!!! Let’s break the stigma around the word “finance.” ------------------ Hi, I'm Jon Dannecker! For over 15 years, I've been helping families, businesses, and individuals plan for the financial future.
