New Method 30 | Understand Your Relationship to Money
This is your weekly affirmation to help you build your personal philosophy. Have a great weekend!
Take a deep breathe in...and say it with me...
We recognize that financial security provides us with the freedom to pursue our dreams, support our loved ones, and make a positive impact on our communities. Therefore, we commit to educating ourselves about personal finance, so we have the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the world of money. We reject the notion that women are destined to be dependent or financially vulnerable. We were not born to be the poorer sex. We strive to break the chains of financial inequality and practice prudent money management, saving, investing and smart financial decision-making. We harness the strength within us to shape our world through wealth and pave the way for a future where our economic independence is not a privilege but a universal reality.
Actions
- Where did it come from? Write out how your parents money habits have affected your own.
- Build Financial Knowledge: Dedicate time to learn about saving and investing—start with accessible books like The Wealthy Woman by Emilie Bellet or podcasts like The Clever Girls Know.
- Set Financial Goals: Define clear short-term (e.g., saving for a trip) and long-term goals (e.g., buying property). Use tools like a vision board or Excel sheet to track progress and stay motivated. For inspiration, watch She Did That for stories of women creating financial independence.
Bonus!
Money Books from my reading list.
- The Rules Of Wealth - I read this every time I start to lose my way with money. You can finish it in like an hour or two.
- The Psychology Of Money - A really important deep dive into our relationship with money.
- Never Split The Difference - The ultimate guide to negotiating and never getting ripped off financially or otherwise again.
- Beyond Bitcoin - The reason I recommend this is because it's a great chronicle on the historic banking system and how it may be disrupted in the future by bitcoin or otherwise.
