What does money mean to you? - Part 2
Understanding what money means to you starts with looking at the life you want it to support.
Each week, I try to take an hour out of my diary. Coffee time with Jesus, I call it.
It is not perfect. Some weeks need more attention than others.
I work through seven areas: faith, family, fitness, finances, folios, friends and fun. Folios is my word for the things I read and feed my mind.
How am I doing in my faith? Who in my family needs a call? Have I looked after my health? Have I reviewed my finances? What am I learning? Which friend have I gone quiet on?
Where possible, I ask myself, have I actually enjoyed anything?
Fun might be travelling. It might be putting on headphones and walking around London, noticing things I normally rush past.
This check-in reminds me what the money is supposed to serve.
A growing income deserves attention. So do the relationships, health and experiences around it.
Try making space this week to review both.
If your finances improved tomorrow, which part of your life would you want to improve with them?
