“Going back to work” nags at you, but it feels wrong or stressful—especially when your kids need you and your husband already makes a great income.
There may be an extra sense of guilt, shame, or even resentment that the numbers don't match what is being presented to your world, but your ability to stay home is genuine and worth protecting, and so is your future financial freedom.
You don't want it to suck.
You want to take on more pieces of managing your family’s finances without feeling like you’re constantly falling short, or opening up cans of contention. You or your husband may see budgets as restrictive and certainly don’t want to clip coupons, be told that things you love are "unnecessary," or "sell so much stuff the kids think they're next."
Math may not be your thing, or money stuff may be anxiety inducing. You may even have said out loud a time or two that you’re “just bad with money.”
I spent a lifetime feeling like I was "bad with money". Within a few months of working with Ruth, debt was dissolving significantly and our financial future looked secure. I went from fearing an impoverished old age, to earning, saving, spending, and investing with determination toward my dreams. And I dream big!
Coaching with Ruth far exceeded my expectations. I can not praise this process enough. It was worth every penny. I wish I had done this twenty years ago."
