p. 308 How Do You See Money?
To me, money is an unfortunate necessity in life.
My financial goals are to comfortably retire by age 50 and ensure my child's college is paid for.
If I had a $100.00 bill in
my wallet, I would take
my family out to dinner.
When I think about paying
bills, I feel organized
and accomplished.
One thing I don’t
understand about money is making
proper investments.
To me, planning for
retirement is expensive.
I worry about having enough
money for a down payment
on a new car.
Money helps me enjoy my
life by allowing me to travel the world.
I don’t need money to enjoy
time with my family.

p. 320 Look Before You Leap
1.
Purchase: New couches.
Why I made it: The couches we had were cheap and
uncomfortable.
Why I wish I hadn’t: There was only a small selection
to choose from and I did not love them. Also, the material is not thick enough
and tears easily.
2.
Purchase: Side tables in our living room.
Why I made it: We needed side tables.
Why I wish I hadn’t: I did not especially like the side tables and I
should have waited until I found something I loved instead of settling.
3.
Purchase: Living room lamps.
Why I made it: We needed lamps.
Why I wish I hadn’t: I do not like them.
4.
Purchase: Set of 3 stackable tables.
Why I made it: I really liked the tables and I thought I could
use them.
Why I wish I hadn’t: It turns out I didn't really have a use or
place for the tables. They also were not worth the money we spent.
(We
bought a lot of our furniture while living in Germany. We had a very small
selection of home items to choose from, which inevitably left us with a lot of
things we don’t really like. We should have just been patient and waited.)
