You don't need a degree in economics or years in banking to understand how important keeping your financial goals supported are. Too many people use ignorance as an excuse, and that's just not a valid option. Finances really aren't THAT hard to manage, it's just me have a tendency to make a complex situation out of a simple one. I certainly agree with the “80% behavior, 20% head knowledge” quote up there.

I balance everything once a week and my husband and I try to make it a point to sit down and look over our successes and failures every month, figure out what happened, and make a plan to fix it. Once a month may be too often for some, but with us paying cash for his school, and having specific goals of not working out tails off for the rest of our life (especially if/when kids come) makes it neccessary for us. It does make it easier that we are blessed to have the same moral and financial values. This is why having a spouse (or a friend, etc) to pray with you and help you on your journey is so important.

It takes determination and personal committment, you are right. It’s easy to slack off, just like going off a diet, or starting to booze it up again.

It's no wonder so many people go through crash and burn episodes with money, sometimes again and again.
