I shared the link last time for the twitter achieve of the money masterclass but here it is again.
Some items are required at the start:
• 2 notebooks
• 5 jars for T and I and 4 jars for Q
• a month at a glance calendar
• 500 things (beads, buttons, toothpicks, poker chips, beans, whatever you can gather)
• 2 highlighters – different colours
• Construction paper
and a box to hold everything in.
I have no idea what to use for the 500 of something that I am not gonna mind having around somewhere. I’m going to wait until they are actually explained to figure them out.
Next the first actual task: list your core values.
WHY does this come up so much?!?! lol
So here’s the link again to my August 2021 blog post. This time I’m going to print out the damn list of values and post it near my computer.
Task 2 – List all the things you want or need to do in the next few years. The idea is to empty out your brain: everything you have been planning to do/wish you had done and then label them:
A = top priority; then B; everything else = C
Key for me is “next few years” there’s really only so much I can do in that time frame (retirement ain’t in the cards just yet)
So here’s my list – I think maybe I have too many A priorities but oh well!
A – improve my health
A – do things together as a family more
A – pay down debt
A – set up an emergency fund of 3 – 6 months of expenses!!
A – stop accumulating stuff
B – travel more
B – contribute more to our RRSPs / TSFAs (retirement savings)
B – create more (stitch, paint, play piano)
B – read more / learn more
C – move to a smaller place (still walkable; with some outside room; dog friendly)
Some more stuff to think about:
WHY do I want to do this?
By WHEN do I want to get it done?
WHAT are the steps I have to take?
WHO can I ask for help?
