You're absolutely right - we often start with the finishing touches thinking that we've done "financial planning", but just as each step is important in building a house the same holds true in building a financial house. ..."finishing touches on a shack" - I like that analogy!

…”finishing touches on a shack” – I like that analogy!

I love how you described the footings as supporting and ensuring a strong foundation. So true and I've never seen it illustrated so clearly. I also like that after you've built the entire house you get to the "Finishing Touches," which is what most people focus on exclusively. What's the point of putting finishing touches on a shack?! :) Awesome conceptualization Jason! I love how you described the footings as supporting and ensuring a strong foundation.

I appreciate the kind words. You're right, the framework is an 0ft-overlooked area of our financial house, but an important one that provides protection when things don't go as planned. Thanks Jason!

Gosh, I may consider sharing this post with Money Map Coach participants. I think the framework is an often overlooked area that is so important in reducing risk for people. Glad we have you financial advisors to help us there! I look forward to reading more of your posts here and over at Redeeming Riches. You're one of my favorites!

I don't know that we ever "arrive" when building our financial house since things change so much, but I think we do get to a point where we've got some good things set up and it's more or less a matter of tweaking things here and there. Ken - prayer is key - oftentimes we don't put much thought into our giving, but I think Scripture calls us to be intentional about it.
