Episode 74: 5 Things I’d Do Differently With Money If I Had the Chance; Aug 23, 2011.

I don’t like always second guessing my decisions or living in the past. But sometimes I do look back and reflect on decisions I’ve made, both good and bad. Today I take a moment to share some of the financial decisions I’ve learned from and what I’ll do differently in the future.

Show notes:Matt & Janelle Recording the Financial Excellence Podcast

  • Budgeting and communicating with my wife should have been a priority from day one. I share some thoughts about how that has affected our marriage.
  • I bought two cars brand new when I was younger. Listen in to hear why I won’t do that again.
  • I have always invested a little money for retirement but looking back I could have invested a lot more and I wish I’d have made better choices then.
  • I definitely won’t make the same mistakes in real estate that I made when we bought our current house.
  • If I did it all over again, I wouldn’t have gone to school for engineering. I think a business degree is better suited for who I am today.
  • Having said all that, those experiences made me who I am today and I wouldn’t change that for anything. So I have no regrets and no desire to do it all again. I only look forward to the future and making better choices there.
  • The August Financial Excellence Challenge is in full swing. What can you do this month to stimulate your own economy? Work an extra job, do a budget, sell some stuff, invest more for the future?
