Our middle son Graham is obsessed with Legos these days. I began to sweat when we embarked on assembling the 3-in-1 Alligator\/Snake\/Frog 343-piece set he received. After opening the box and slowly reviewing the instruction manual, my anxiety started to melt. The manual contained all 272 steps with simple pictures to help with the construction. What began as overwhelming transitioned to almost therapeutic. <\/strong><\/p>\n We spent 20 minutes a day building the alligator one piece at a time. The biggest concern was no longer the number of pieces but rather Graham’s little brother, Riggs, who wanted \u201cin\u201d on all the action. Graham affectionally coined Riggs a “Lego Monster.”<\/p>\n Building a financial plan can bring about the overwhelming feeling I experienced when opening the Lego kit.<\/p>\n I just finished reading “The Laws of Wealth” by Daniel Crosby. He thoughtfully articulates the importance of designing a systematic process to avoid known risks. The same process applies to the construction and maintenance of a financial plan. Keep the steps simple so you gain momentum, most importantly, but also meaningful change over time.<\/strong> Here are a few examples:<\/p>\nKicking the Can vs. Getting Started<\/h3>\n
