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
Practice advocating for yourself by asking for what you want, or sending something back or asking for something additional
- 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
