I was reminded why saving without living isn’t really saving at all…. For years, I’ve been saving gift cards for the right time. Finally, I decided to use them. When I went up to the counter to pay, they told me “My gift card was too old. They couldn’t scan it with their system.” All those years of saving… for what? To get told my gift card is too old. And guess what? I have STACKS of gift cards back at home that are probably too old. To be honest, I can’t tell you why I decided to hoard them. Maybe because I wanted to save it for something cooler. (that would never come) Maybe it was because I didn’t want to go out of my way after work…. However, this situation reminded me of a conversation I recently had with one of my clients. They expressed wanting to go on vacation but didn’t have the money. That confused me. I was looking at their accounts… They had plenty of money in their retirement accounts and savings. What made them come to this conclusion? They feared the what if… What if we pass and there’s not enough money to pay for the funeral? What if we need that money for repairs? Yes, it’s important to have funds locked away for emergencies. However, they didn’t need to worry about that. If that were to happen, they’d be good to go! AND still have enough left over to take that trip. I encouraged them to take the trip... what else would you use the money on? And guess what? They did. The memories they have from that trip? Priceless. Yes, it’s important to save. But, it’s also important to live life!! 📌 What’s your dream vacation destination? --------------- Hi, I'm Jon Dannecker!

I’ve seen one common misconception happen over and over again…. Pushing off our goals. "I'll start reviewing my finances next month!" It’s like a diet. Eat all the junk food you can now. Because it will be gone starting Feb 1st. Why? For most, they are nervous to face their fears. Finances are a delicate subject for many. However, I’ve seen firsthand the relief clients feel after starting. Weight? Lifted. Stress? Gone. Leaving with a plan on how to start on your financial journey! The hardest part is starting. Don’t wait to start working on your finances. Trust me, it’s not that scary! 📌 Have you pushed off starting something? I used to push off working out! ---------------------- Hi, I'm Jon Dannecker!
