One-two punch

Balancing a bud­get, in the­o­ry, is real­ly sim­ple. Spend less than you earn.

In prac­tice, it’s look­ing to get much hard­er.

Basic neces­si­ties are get­ting a lot more expen­sive. An exam­ple is NY State’s health insur­ance costs. Read the arti­cle close­ly, and you’ll see the 7% increase is more than 30% low­er than what insur­ers request­ed. Could you imag­ine if they got what they request­ed? What hap­pens next time?

Hey, by the way, are you get­ting a 7% raise at work? No, you’re not. US wages just post­ed their low­est quar­ter­ly increase on record.

Increasing costs with stag­nant wages are a sol­id one-two punch to your bud­get.

You can get anoth­er job, but would­n’t it be eas­i­er to have some­one (or some-Elephant) do the work while you get the pay­check?

On top of the extra income, your Elephant will get that 7% raise a year. Likely more. Each and every year that you stick with the Elephant’s Paycheck Blueprint.
