Overcoming barriers

During tax season, I start thinking more and more about finances. While our finances are currently in pretty good shape, I keep looking for new ideas on how to make sure it stays that way. One of my new favorite blogs in this vein is Get Rich Slowly. Lots of good ideas in here (and I think my wife is tired of hearing me toss them around).

Today, a guest post from the author of the upcoming I Will Teach You To Be Rich discusses how to overcome the barriers that stop us from doing the things we know we should do, like working out more or spending less. It's not enough to cognatively know we should do these things. We have to clear away the barriers standing in the way of those goals, whether they be physical, mental, or other.

Go read it and then break down a barrier today! I'm going to buy stock. I've had a barrier against buying stock not because of the economy or because I didn't know what to invest in. My barrier was figuring out the right mechanism to purchase my investment. I'm going to get around that today! Wish me luck...
