or anything like that. So I think whether you like to brainstorm or draw or whatever, allow yourself some space where you can just have fun and think about, what do I want this future to look like? Then we've got to go down into your numbers. And one of the best ways to do this is by something I call a weekly money date. I literally set my timer on my phone for 15 minutes.
And I'm looking at my spending from the week previous and I'm thinking about what's coming up. And what I'm doing is I'm looking at my spending and I'm saying, okay, is my spending aligning with that vision I have for my future? I think we tend to think that in order to reach our money goals, we need to get rid of everything excess. And I don't think that's the right way to approach this.
If it's, you know, I love going out to eat once a week on a date night, or I love going to that gym workout class. Build that into your spending plan because that's part of this vision that you're creating.
I would say like another piece of that is celebrating small wins. Having a weekly money date is a win. Looking at how you're spending your money is a win. Thinking about your future is a win. But also, for instance, if we're going to pay off debt, let's say every $100 that we pay off, let's go give ourselves a small little reward.
I'm talking about something super tiny, but let's celebrate this along the way because that's an important piece of this too in the building the trust with ourselves and our relationship with money.
The important thing to keep your relationship with money unraveled is to keep coming back to what is the story that I learned about money when I was little? How is that influencing the decisions, the behaviors, the actions I'm making now? If you just do that piece, you will be shocked at what you discover and how that can help you move forward with a different story.
Ooh. Yeah, I love the truth or dare.
I love the truth or dares. That was actually my most fun part to write in this book. The first dollar I ever earned, that actually came from the tooth fairy. I lost my first tooth on a milk dud watching a movie. And I remember waking up in the morning and I was like, oh my gosh, there's money under my pillow.
And I think what I learned from that is that it doesn't have to be as difficult as you might believe. I remember watching my dad kind of struggle with money and I thought, this is crazy. Like I lost a tooth and I got a dollar. Like this doesn't have to be that difficult. Of course it is. And it's been a giant learning process. You had to grow that tooth.
I had to grow that tooth, which I was not accounting for.
You know, there was a kind of like a 7-Eleven-ish type store down the street from my house. I probably went down there and bought some version of an Icy.
Yes. But again, it took me many years to actually cement that lesson.
