Reynolds Berkeley was an average boy that grew up on a farm in Okran, Ohio. Though one could hardly regard his family as inferior, his family’s subsistence stemmed from his parents’ frugal practices. Reynolds’ dad had minimal education but still managed to keep a budget and ledger for all farm and household expenses. The ability of Berkeley’s children to get some schooling came at a price; for them, the quintessential profanities of youth were absent. Reynolds Berkeley grew to be a prosperous property realtor but found it challenging to live within his means. The acute frugality of his youth made a spending beast out of him in adulthood.
Riches do not automatically result in financial satisfaction. With a healthy money culture, you can achieve much, even when you have little.
Like Reynolds, our financial realities originate from the fiber of our interactions with money, right from childhood. In effect, an adequate understanding of yourself will be an eye-opener to the previously enigmatic spending habits. Self-understanding entails answering a series of questions about the “hows” and “whys” of your money habits. Such questions include:
• What convictions do I have about money and why?
• Is there a trend in the financial pitfalls I’ve encountered so far?
• Do I find it challenging to remain on the same page as my spouse about money matters?What are the safeguards I need to put in place to secure the financial security of my wards?
However, this summary is no manifesto or seven-point agenda on financial actualization. Instead, it is a personal guide for self-discovery. Subsequently, you see your financial faults for what they are and make amends going forward.

Knowing what to do with your money is the easy part. Actually doing it is the hard part. ~ Dave Ramsey
