$40 trillion!
That's where our national debt now stands...roughly $120,000 for every man, woman and child in the country.
That number concerns me. It frustrates me. And I think it's worth paying attention to.
But here's the thing I've tried to remind clients (and myself) over the years:
**Pay attention to the things that matter. Don't let the noise distract you from the things you can actually control.**
I don't control Washington's balance sheet.
I do control mine.
A few thoughts on what this latest headline might remind all of us to do with our own financial house.
