    Question Are you fearful of looking honestly at your financial situation?

    Do you put it off, knowing that its not where you want it to be.

    About every 6 months, I look at our financial situation. Sometimes I don't like what I see, but I've learnt its easier to keep a close watch on it, than be fearful and not look at it at all.

    How about you?

    I'm not at all afraid to look, infact I have to look fairly often. It keeps me motivated to do more, better.

    We do quarterly financial meetings at our house. Just did the yearly budget meeting today too.

    If we don't stay on top of our finances, they get out of control.
