The ROI Isn't There....

Monday Musings: Cutting things out of your life that you don't need

“I think we pull out, the ROI just isn’t there and there is too much money going out this December.”

This is a legit convo I just had with my travel sports “family”, ie… the parents of some of Evy’s friends who play lacrosse. We had to make a decision if we were in for an out of town tournament and none of us were feeling the investment, especially during such an expensive month like December, was worth it.

We had to say no.

It’s hard to say no. I kinda don’t love it. But it’s a requirement if you’re going to create a healthy life. Why? Because you can’t have it all…says the Amy who learned the hard way by trying to have it all.

Listen, there is a ceiling for everyone.

A financial advisor told me many years ago: “It’s just extra zeros, Amy”. Meaning, whether you have $2,000 or $200,000 if you run out of money, you run out of money. Either on a big or large scale. It’s just zeros if you can’t afford it. Nobody can have it all.

This doesn’t just apply to money…
