creating the life you desire - Win with Money
Understanding Your Situation
Our past can impact the way we view and handle our money.
Think back to when you were a child, was money a topic that was discussed? Were you taught how to effectively handle money? (This can impact your future) If money was scarce when growing up you may be hesitant to spend or feel guilty. As children we observed our parents (and grandparents) making decisions on whether or not to spend money on the next big thing. Did they have a calm open discussion and hear each other out? Or did they disagree and become frustrated about spending money? These generational behaviors affect how we currently live our life. Don’t let your past dictate your future!
Our relationships can play a huge role in how we hold ourselves (and spouses) accountable when it comes to spending money.
If single, do you have an accountability buddy? Someone who can help keep you on track with your financial goals and will be honest with you when you are about to make a big decision that does not align with your future dreams? Have faith in where you see your future self and then take the baby steps that align with your goals to get you there! You are not alone!
If married, how often do you communicate with your partner about money? When was the last time you talked about where you see yourselves in 10-20 years? As you may know communication is key in any relationship, while being unified and focused on your dreams will create winning habits. Making wise budgeting decisions together can build a stronger relationship, yet on the flip side unwise decisions can really hold you back.
Society’s Norms should NOT hold you back from getting what you desire!
Just because these unwritten rules are considered acceptable in particular social groups or cultures, doesn’t mean you have to have the same beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Be weird! Break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck! Choose to make sacrifices now for what you want later! You deserve to have the life you desire!
Remember... it doesn't matter where you come from, it matters where you are going!
What baby step can you do today to get you closer to your dreams?
