New Year...New Attitude

We are all guilty of it…excessive spending, using our homes as ATM’s, expecting our real estate investments and stock portfolios to keep on growing at a rapid pace insuring our financial future.  When the mortgage crisis and subsequent real estate bust happened most of us were caught completely off guard.  The good news is that Lexington homes and for the most part, Bluegrass homes weren’t nearly as effected as other parts of the country, so much of our equity has remained fairly intact.

The Coastal regions were hit hard and will have to endure a much longer recovery than most of the United States, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. What this ordeal has taught us, hopefully, is that we need to start today to plan for our financial future and there is no better time than January 1st starting off the New Year Year with a new attitude!  For some great tips, check out this article on RISMedia.
