From Here to Financial Happiness

Day Three Dream a Little

If money were no object, what would you change about your life? What possessions would you buy? What things would you do? Would you continue with your current job, change careers, or retire? Let your mind wander, conjuring up dreams big and small, and then list them below. These things don't necessarily have to involve money, though there's a good chance that dollars and cents are somehow involved.

I'm not promising you'll be able to turn every wish into reality. But this is your chance to articulate what you want – a crucial first step in figuring out how best to handle your money, while also motivating yourself to make the necessary short‐term sacrifices. If we're to say “no” to today's many temptations to spend, we need to make our longer‐term goals even more tantalizing.
