Lets start managing our $ relationship!
To dominate our r/s with $, we need to find out why we need it. Basically, we need to set our relationship goals aka our reasons to budget. Such as:
- Be debt free in ____ years
- Save $100,000 by 30 years old
- Have a dream wedding
- Live in a 2 room condo in Marine Parade by 33
- Retire by 45
These reasons will ensure that you stay loyal in your r/s with $.
When you create ‘relationship goals’, you will likely stick to it and not cheat because of the emotional attachment involved. Instead of being a no strings attached relationship (aka saving without a plan), you have set a committed target for yourself.
Step 1. Write down these reasons aka money relationship goal(s) and be as specific as possible.
