My dream of financial mastery has me thinking about my budget, such as it is. Working on the household budget this week, I realized that I, like most people, have three budget buckets.

A Dreamer Dedicated to Not Giving Up Hope
Motivational speaker, Dale Carnegie once said, “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” This week my dream to be an international, motivational speaker has taught me a great deal about hope.
