We see when it's a group of friends they usually keep each other accountable with paying rent, but we get their parents information in case it's needed. 

Then there are others that are great at accounting, but that's all they do.

Leaders with emotional intelligence support innovation, risk-taking, and accountability while adapting to changes.

I have about $60K in 401(K) accounts and approximately $100K in equity in my home.

Your equity is not a savings account from which you can withdraw for free.
