Values and Money – FT010

Where we spend our money is a reflection of our interests, values and priorities.

Does your bank statement reflect what you value?

If a stranger were to look at your last monthly statement what would they assume you love to do?

So how do I get my bank statement to reflect what I value?

· Conduct a self audit

• Where is your money going
• Is that where you want it to go?

· Establish your true values

• Spend on what you love
• Cut out the things you don’t love
• You can’t love everything!

· Then re-evaluate
