This blog post is going to be a little different. Instead of an article I am going to ask a few questions. If you are serious about being a good steward of your financial resources you will give some thought to them. I have put them in a deliberate order; the questions will logically build on the ones before it. So lights, camera, action!
What influences your financial decisions?
What is your money script?
What is your money personality?
What is the purpose of money in your life?
How do you define wealth?
How do you define success?
And lastly this math exercise. Get a piece of paper and pen for this one. No smartphone or computers. The act of calculating and writing will make the result very important to your brain.
Take your pretax yearly salary and multiply it by the number of years you plan to work. Write down the answer.
What do you think of that number?
Now I know some readers might be thinking that there are some standard answers to the questions I just asked. But I am not looking for standard answers. You need to answer those questions according to your own personal circumstances.
In the next blog post I will present some possible answers to these questions.
