Do you know of any defining moments in early childhood, the teen years, or just after leaving home that may have influenced their perspective? <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/i-would-walk-500-miles-but-not-in-your-shoes">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>how to throw someone under the bus (in your place)</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 07:30:07 +0000</p> "Yeah, I've been out of work for about three years now. You know, downsizing." And with the way he said "downsizing" he implied that I understood how not only he, but countless others have been victims of some silent conspiracy concocted by corporate fat cats, foreigners who work cheap, and of course - you know, of course - the government. It's funny how much you can hear in the tone of someone's voice. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/how-to-throw-someone-under-the-bus-in-your-place">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>the pain in beginning (again)</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:38:17 +0000</p> Maybe you've been too scared of what you'll find to write a plan for your spending. Maybe you've recognized that it's going to be a long trek out of debt requiring much sacrifice. Maybe you need to lose weight and change your eating habits, but you know it's going to mean physical pain and a complete overhaul of decisions you've made for years. Maybe you need to call your dad, your sister, your brother, your son, your daughter and apologize for something that happened a long time ago. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/the-pain-in-beginning-again">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>confessions from the face of the earth</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:33:37 +0000</p> Contrary to what you may have suspected, I didn’t find the face of the earth and drop off of it back in June. I wasn’t even looking for the face of the earth; though I can bet Mt. Everest is involved – seems like a logical nose for the world to me. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/confessions-from-the-face-of-the-earth">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>maybe you need to get over yourself</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Mon, 23 May 2011 18:39:00 +0000</p> By serving your spouse, you have to yield your own desires. You have to put yourself beneath your spouse. Doing so shows your spouse what level of value you assign to him or her. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/maybe-you-need-to-get-over-yourself">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>when financial problems are really boundary problems</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Wed, 04 May 2011 01:18:45 +0000</p> Most financial issues aren't the root problem, they're the leaves at the end of a branch, at the end of a limb, attached to a trunk that shoots down below the surface of the ground. Simply put: Financial problems are a symptom, not the cause. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/when-financial-problems-are-really-boundary-problems">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>i’m a-lookin’ & i’m a-likin’!</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:40:14 +0000</p> When a husband and wife make their marriage vows they become one flesh. This unity and intimacy is a good thing - just like God intended. To attempt to manage money separately is to tug at the finely woven fabric of a healthy marriage. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/im-a-lookin-im-a-likin">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>hoarders masquerading as savers</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 20:31:11 +0000</p> If you're a spender, you'll appreciate this: Savers can be full of crap. They can come off as holier than thou in their effort to pinch every penny, cherish every dime, and make you feel guilty for putting a quarter in a gumball machine. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/hoarders-masquerading-as-savers">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>to know everything & do nothing about it</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 14:26:56 +0000</p> I've encountered a couple in recent months who need to make some serious headway with their finances. He's been out of work for six months. She cosigned on a six-figure student loan for a child, a loan the child is having difficulty paying. We've seen them in classes. They've definitely read books. But nothing is changing. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/to-know-everything-do-nothing-about-it">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> <article> <h1>i love a good coming-of-age story</h1> <p>Derek Sisterhen — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 20:43:33 +0000</p> Think about it: For many high school seniors, the next ten years will usher forth marriage, children, home ownership, career change, and, yes, even the paying of taxes. <a href="http://getnakedbook.com/i-love-a-good-coming-of-age-story">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a> </article> </main></body></html>
