Over the last four months Jason and Kia have made drastic changes with their debt. But this last month
I could tell that Jason and Kia’s motivation had begun to dwindle a little. When meeting with Kia one on one, we were able to dive in to find out what some of their struggles were and why they weren’t as motivated as before.

Kia and Jason are overwhelmed with some things that are going on in their personal life and also with not seeing drastic changes in their finances. There have been some unexpected bills that have thrown their budget goals. While talking to Kia, I have suggested committing to saving a certain amount every month. I’ve also suggested they think about starting some special savings accounts in order to start saving for events that are happening later on this year. This way they are not trying to find money at the last minute. I reinforced that they have made huge strides towards their goals and that they will not be able to make such drastic changes every month.

Rance and I need to keep Kia and Jason motivated during this long process. In our meeting next week we hope to get Kia and Jason excited again and to remind them that they have done a great job so far.
To be successful doesn’t always mean there has to be drastic changes, but that little changes go a
long way.
