The Gatekeepers: Math: You influence your family finances

Men have a special role in their families that they often neglect. There are outside forces that influence your families – and what comes into your home needs to go through you. You are the keeper of the gate – the man who determines what influences are allowed to pass through.

I’ll be honest – I’m not the greatest at numbers or managing money – but my wife and I have a system that works – and she handles most of the money. We discuss it together, and we make decisions together – but the point is that we get it done.

What are your financial values? How will you spend your money? Do you have a budget? The way you manage your money will influence the way your children manage theirs. So setting an example now will make a difference later.

I’d encourage you to check out Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, or some other similar program so that you can learn some financial management principles….
