How’s your relationship with money? Savvy? or no…?
Black Friday has a way of showing me my relationship with money.
In long past years, I’d be seeking out Big Deals, even if those items were not REALLY what I needed. Or even really wanted!
But our money boundaries CAN change. I added 7 years ago a boundary – I would add to my “wishlist” things that felt like a YES. I’d let them “ripen” on the wishlist for “awhile.” And I would use Black Friday (or its now extended seeming month-long time) to choose 1-2 items for me and any holiday presents I knew I’d already chosen to get.
Why!?
Because I know I am susceptible to Big Savings. Many people are! I can feel the tug, the pull, the push.
If I am going to have a Freedom Fund that is strong for my future self and my family, having money boundaries is… essential.
The proof for me is that this works. I saw 5 amazing deals in the last few days. Things that I imagine I’d enjoy having.
I did not act on them. I did, of course, save $$ on the present I wanted to get my partner. And I got myself a thicker pair of winter gloves (that maybe I’ll have my kids “give me.”)
Anyway… money is energy. It is used as a re-Source for work we’ve done and what we’ve stewarded. We exchange money for what we need and what matters to us (including supporting Beings that matter to us).
Cathy and I will be exploring how to align money boundaries with our values, how to include longer term intentions for freedom as well, and how to say NO (and YES!) to money requests. We hope you join us…
