It’s much easier to blame the government for their ridiculous subsidies of corn that have led to the prevalence of high fructose corn syrup in just about all processed foods than skip the Cinnabon and the entire center of the grocery store. It’s easier to place blame than accept responsibility. But such perceived “ease” is only short-term.

To reach any goals in your life, including your financial goals, you need to switch from the hare’s mindset to that of the tortoise. Paying off debt is great but having no quality of life in the process is not the way to do it. This is also true with our finances. Slow and steady wins the race.

I believe that if you use a process to make your decisions, you will be more apt to make more good ones than bad. You will get better and better at the process and hence make better and better decisions. Do a financial analysis to determine if buying a home will move you towards your financial goals or away from them.

We e-file our taxes and having the previous year’s return to reference is very helpful at speeding up the process.
