Time to Go to Work
All you have is the time you take, and giving yourself extra time to travel or complete a task is preparing for success! I don't have much time at all, just enough to get dressed and gather my things, then put on my boots and a warm jacket. Spring is here, officially now that the Geese are returning from their adventure south for the winter. Yet precipitation coming from the mountains arrives as snow, hopefully not so much tonight as I drive down dark and Icey roads.
For want of money we hope and dream of sudden and unexpected fortune, but even if such blessings were to arrive, our habits destroy any chance of profit. Tracking my expenses each week has become more than a habit, it is an essential routine that is helping tame my impulse purchases. Four of six 5 day weeks are now complete, and I know EXACTLY how much money I have spent.
Do you know precisely how much money you have spent, on what, when and where? How do you make your money, and can you keep any of it for long, or are all your fortunes owed to another?
This year I am aggressively paying off my debts, but I am grateful for the time to pay for the things I have already bought. This year I also am not spending intentionally on my credit card, as I did last year. This is a lesson that I have purchased, cheap compared to college lectures, for finance.
Can I remain accountable to my past choices? Will I listen to my own instructions, when my 2pm alarm goes off? Today I did, swiftly and immediately, complete my reciept tracking today.
"It doesn't matter how much you make, only how much you keep."
