Reset your money habits

In his late 20s, Jason Hull found himself stuck $300,000 in debt. He admits that, after graduating with an engineering degree from West Point, he’d used the relative riches of his first real job to enjoy the consumption-driven good life, blinders up to potential consequence.

Through persistence, discipline, and teamwork, Jason paid off a staggering combination of debt from credit cards, graduate school loans, and a mortgage in five years. He’s stayed in the clear ever since.

As a former co-owner of the online financial planning service MyFinancialAnswers.com, Jason helped others make good decisions to keep out of the red. And because he knows that the urge to define happiness and success through shopping can trip up the best of us, he offers simple advice to reset both our thinking and our bank balance.

In short, he says, when we align our goals with our spending, money becomes a tool to help us achieve our heart’s desires, instead of a jailer who holds our happiness hostage. With Jason’s help, we’ve put together this printable worksheet to help you prioritize what’s important to you and tweak your spending accordingly. Whether your goal is to pay off debt, own a home, or travel the world, this worksheet will help you get on track.
