Time

KD:  LA is the mushy one of the two of us.  I'm realistic, she's dreamy, I'm black & white, she's grey...but we are both creative in our own ways, rock solid in our beliefs, stubborn, love travelling and discovery new places, we both like living our lives "out of the box" not doing things the "normal/acceptable" way (I believe we can give our parents credit for that trait).

By the way, I did get the job and I'm thrilled.  It will be exciting to see how God uses me in my new position.  It will be a huge learning curve and a test of faith relying on God for insight, wisdom and creativity.

Time...it goes so fast.  My husband and I are realizing this as we take a Dave Ramsey course on finances.  Okay, we totally blew it in our late teens.  In his book Dave shares a story about two guys who invested.  One started, when he was 19, putting $2000 away a year for eight years then he stopped.  The other guy started at the age of 26 and put away $2000/year, every year until he was 65 and his savings never caught up to the other guy who only invested $16,000.  Shared this wee story and chart with our kids.  Here is the response...
J:  "after eight years I can then spend my $2000 how I want"? Yes, then you can spend the $2000 however you want.  He is interested.
K: "65 is a long ways away" in other words, I am soooo not interested!

How many of us can/could relate to K`s answer?  For myself I hope to find financial freedom at this late stage of the game-never too old to learn!  I am sick and tired of the stress of not having enough money...too give, too relax when an emergancy does hit, too not have to hit the rainy day jar to buy a jug of milk. 

I`ll keep you posted in how it goes.
