I've been reading all sorts of books lately on how to get rich,why Donald Trump wants me to be rich, it's my fault that I'm broke and apparently I want to be broke. Who knew? Basically I already know whats in those books, I just haven't wanted to admit it to myself, yet. So now that I'm serious about starting to get ahead rather than live paycheck to paycheck I find myself having to change the way I look at things.
Here's the biggest one for me.
Old me: I want to be home with my family not out working. We have enough now and i want to be part of my kid's lives, not some guy that pops in and out between jobs.
New me (relax everyone, It's still me. I'm just thinking differently now and use the term metaphorically): If I really care about my family I will work a little harder to earn enough money so they can go to college etc. etc.
This sucks because the old me reasoning was a really good excuse to continue to be lazy and procrastinate, but I think the change is worth it. So now Wifey-poo and I are starting to get a plan of attack in place and start knocking the debt down.
It's difficult to change so drastically and begin new endeavors, but time is fleeting so its time to get off my fat ass and get my hands dirty.

Damn it! I just broke a nail. It's all harder that I thought. Forget it Scrubs in on anyway and that show ain't gonna watch itself.
