The Good Dad

💡 "If your spouse doesn't agree to your financial plan, then you don't have a financial plan—you just have a good idea." - Dave Ramsey How true is this? 🤔 You might have the best financial strategy in mind, but if your partner isn't on board, it’s going to be an uphill battle. Financial harmony isn’t just about numbers—it's about teamwork, trust, and compromise. In my latest blog, I share a personal story of how my wife and I learned this lesson the hard way, and how we turned a heated money disagreement into a stronger partnership. 💬 The key takeaway? Open communication and mutual understanding are the foundations of any successful financial plan. Without that, all you’ve got is just a good idea—one that might never become reality. 👉 Want to turn your good ideas into a solid financial plan that works for both you and your spouse?

I’m 40 and a father of 4 and I’m about to call a quits!! 🙅🏾♂️ I’m 3 years away from an empty nest. Here’s where I sit! 👨🏽🎓When my youngest son graduates and heads off to college I’ll only be 43. And I’ve been a parent since I was 18 years old. I was a baby my wife was a baby and we were raising babies. Shouldn’t have been able to But we did it! There are a lot of things I’ve learned about parenthood in the last 22 years and counting. Here are the 4 most important lessons reflecting on how my family got here. 1. If your spouse doesn’t agree with your idea then you must wait. So much of the arguing in my house came from one of us proceeding with what we thought simply because we “really, really, really” believe it to be right. Being right is never better than being disregarded. 2. Love really does cover the multitude and that’s from a not so religious; “religious” person. But I learned where knowledge is lacking loving on each other sure helps while you figure it out. Remember love is, patient, kind, and all of that other stuff. 3. You must embrace your community. Anyone willing to pour life into your children should be worked into your child’s life. Counselors, coaches, spiritual leaders, other parents, friends, and anyone else who loves your family. These are the people that enrich the soil your child grows in. 4. Resiliency is the most important thing you can teach your children. Let’s face it life doesnt always work out the way we expect. Sometimes we have to be just as good bobbers as we are weavers and that is a skill that can be taught. Spend time teaching your kids how to think through the things in front of them by asking them challenging or self discovering questions. A point of view is much better than right or wrong answer most times. What are some lessons you’ve learned on your parenting journey? Let me know in the comments.
