Jenn and I were coming back from teaching the Financial Learning Experience recently, and I looked in the back seat and saw this.
Yes. That is my daughter reading a copy of my book. Very humbling.
Flash forward a few nights. I go upstairs and see my daughter lying in bed reading the book some more. Here is the conversation.
Me You reading the book again?
Her Yeah. I think it is so funny how you had so much debt and Mom did not.
Me You think that is funny?
Her Yes! You caused all of the debt problems.
Me Yes I did. But I stopped spending money, and we became debt-free.
Her Yeah, but you still caused all of the debt problems. That's funny!
It was so humbling, but I am so FIRED UP that I was able to say the "we became debt-free" part!
Yes, honey, Dad messed up with money, but I woke up one day, shouted "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!", and we marched out of debt and into financial freedom.
Melea, that is why Dad is on a crusade. I am on a crusade to help as many people as I can get out of their financial mess and achieve financial freedom.
That is Awesome that you shared that moment with her!! Children are just such amazing gifts from God.
way to go Joe, start her early, so she will not make the same mistakes you did
Change that family tree!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that is incredible. *high-five*
Joe…. Shouldn’t you be looking forward? lol
Maybe Jenn took the photo.
You two are doing a good job, keep it up!
Hilarious! Sounds like she is more like her Momma!
