Or we can feel, I’m ok, I know day to day where my money is going for the most part and we’re fine. I spend where I want and responsibly and I don’t feel the need to take a closer look. Ok. Great.But it’s not only about that. It’s about being as intentional as you can be, respecting the time, energy, sacrifice, and hard work you put into building the business that you have. Really take a fresh look and let yourself get excited by all the opportunities that are right there. It’s possible you haven’t seen it because you haven’t taken a detailed look in a while. It could also be about doing this for yourself so if you have kiddos, you can teach them to do the same. Ah-ha!My husband and I recently started tracking our every expense. We’ve done this in the past at various times. It’s a great check-in. It’s important to actually know, literally, where the money is going. We’re both fairly independent with day-to-day, smaller expenses. But as we all know, these can add up. I worked with a client that didn’t even know her and her husband’s coffee spending was over $500/month; this was both single beverages on the go as well as brewed from home beans. They were coffee connoisseurs for sure. I’ll admit, when my husband first suggested tracking our every expense most recently, my eyes probably got a little bigger. I felt an initial hesitation…like okay, but why? Eek, um, alright, lights do it. Maybe I responded this way because I’m usually the one to suggest we do this. But it was also likely because I didn’t truly know where every expense was going. I’m not exactly sure what the totals at month-end look like. Is it on track with where we want to be? I know we don’t live beyond our means. But are my spending habits aligned with my priorities and goals? I think so. But to truly know, it requires taking a measurable look. I know, this doesn’t initially sound like fun. Money is a big topic with lots of emotion behind it. Especially when it comes to our relationships. So let’s keep it light and fun for now. For my five steps on knowing where your money is going and much more go to crazybigdreams.biz/24.
