2023-04-3022 minBroke at Forty151. Evan's Pillars of Longevity in Life and FinancesWhat do we begin thinking about this time of year? That's right. New Year's Resolutions. Evan hates that word! Why can't we think of our behavior in terms of a "way of life" and not breaking bad habits. If we do have habits that hinder our growth in longevity with life and finances, then having awareness to correct it is more important than thinking we can never fail. We WILL fail. But success depends on a Net Result over Time. Join us today as Evan rambles about this topic, so important to remember for 2023 and beyond.
