Financial Advice From Life Kit

Use your money to live an actual richer, more joyful life.

  • Find a safe environment to do so: it might just be a group of girlfriends where you’ve said, ‘I would love you to be my accountability partner and I’m just going to talk about money with you.’
  • Speak freely in front of your friends about money on purpose.

Don’t worry about the financial haggling for now

  • It’s hard to jump into the financial application if you’re not able to advocate for yourself in small ways

Do I need it?

Needs: food, shelter, clothing, water – things you must have to maintain your health and safety

  • Loves: love will continue to give you joy 6 months to a year from now
  • You need to take care of the first half of the equation – needs and loves – and spend less money on likes and wants
