Kate calls these diatribes. I like it <3

Kate and I have always had this dynamic, where I bring in income, and she builds our life to use that income as effectively as possible. We’ve always focused on both ends of cash flow – reduce expenses while increasing income.

I find the hardest part of a post to write is the introduction, and the conclusion.
If you start there, and you’re stuck, try writing out the headings of your post, fill them in, and edit until you get your post. The intro and conclusion is a lot easier at that point.
