Remember Jim Varney (aka Ernest)? He personified ignorance and ineptitude.
We laughed at his antics knowing no one could be so clueless. His silly movies were never blockbusters but they offer insight.
Most money turn-a-rounds happen when we overcome Ernest-like mistakes.
Years ago I pulled an Ernest. I knew the importance of discussing potential purchases with my wife. And yet I bought a house (yes you read that right) without her consent. I was inept, incompetent. I knew better, but I acted poorly.
We must learn about money, overwhelming ignorance.
And we must become competent, overcoming ineptitude.
Garner knowledge and then apply it...especially when buying a home.
