Boredom Seekers:

If you know me at all, you know my life is anything but boring. Between running a business, coaching, and chasing six kids and all of their activities, there isn’t much free time left. But there is one area of my life I’m perfectly happy to keep boring: my finances.

Recently, I’ve seen an uptick in people asking about new and exciting strategies or investments, and I’ve been more than happy to steer them the other direction. I'm proud of our boring ways. Spend less than you make. Save consistently. Invest intelligently. Stick with the plan. It isn’t sexy, but boring has a pretty darn good track record of building wealth.

Walks every morning, goes to the gym a few times a week, gets rid of junk food, watches what he eats. But sticks with it.

Not sure about you but my money's on the second guy. Because boring works! In physical health and in financial health.

What I've been up t Different seasons bring different responsibilities in the Meyer household. Right now, Liz is busy coaching volleyball for our local school, which means I’ve taken on a lot more of the dinner duties lately. Cooking isn’t exactly my favorite thing in the world, but I don’t hate it either. And it has been a good reminder of just how much Liz usually has on her plate...literally and figuratively. 😄
