Read my article on Enlisted Money If you're a money nerd like me, you'll love creating your own little "holiday" for it – Money Day! I originally got this concept from J.D. Roth's blog, Get Rich Slowly. Our annual Money Day has evolved over the years, but it's a great forcing function to keep us on track financially.

This also serves as an excuse for me to nerd out and annoy my lovely wife with money talk for a day. To be clear, she plays a huge role in Money Day and our financial success – she just doesn't like talking about money like I do.
