Nice to “meet” you Joe, and thanks for sharing your story!I bet you have seen just about everything as a FP (I used to be an accountant, I’m a mess with my own money but was OK with other people’s, go figure!).

Love the elephant analogy, I use it a lot too.

I’m a big fan of that elephant phrase. Whenever I get overwhelmed, I just go back to basics…take those first steps. It’s interesting to hear those stories about how your clients didn’t know certain things…and even you not paying taxes for three years. Thank you for being so honest!

Financial birthday suit…I like it! I would love to have been a fly on the wall during some of your meetings. I had my epiphany in January right before we started the blog. It was Jeff’s idea and I never would have gone along with it if I didn’t think we really needed something to help catapult us out of our stupidity.

its amazing and pity to know how people behave with their money. If the lessons and good habits are instilled from childhood, there’s hope people take things seriously.

Joe, I feel like I know you so much better now! I’m curious how your advising changed after you got a financial clue?

For me, it was years of going, “Oh, I just don’t make enough money yet,” and racking things up on cards. Then finally one day actually writing down my budget and going, “Oh… I actually do have enough money. Crap.”

Not quite the hour long credit card cutting session, but it did the trick for me!
