However, Brett and I have argued about the cost benefit (or detriment) to having chickens and if its worth it.  Can you guess?  Is it?

If cash is king, then leverage is the Queen. Leverage can be your best friend.  Or it can be "Mean Girls" on steroids.  Remember The Great Recession of 2008?  I sure do.  If you're younger than me, you might have lived through it by watching your parents struggle.  That is a perfect example of leverage gone wrong. I know how frustrating money can be.  Making it, learning about it, managing your hang ups over it. Sometimes it takes a trusted advisor to bring a fresh perspective to your world, to get clarity & grow with confidence.

Now, before you get up in my grill and tell me what a horrible person I am, let me explain... Have you ever tried to play tennis?  Golf?  Soccer?  If you’ve ever played any of these sports before, you know how hard it is to just start.  Hand-Eye (or feet) coordination is super hard until you start practicing.  And usually you have some sort of coach that will guide you on knowledge and technique.  And eventually it begins to get easier and easier.  Hopefully, after a while, you might actually get pretty good. Heck, I just enrolled my daughter in tennis camp and I’m using it as an excuse to get back into the game too.  I haven’t played since college, so guess what?  I’m going to suck.  Again.  Just like “The Water Boy” - we suck again !  But I used to love it, so its worth me trying again.
