Do you remember the game LIFE? My family and I would play it all the time. You started with college or a career. Next you get married, have kids, and navigate the board game with the intention of making as much money as possible because the winner of the game is the person with the most money!
Do you feel like you’re not really winning in that part of the game, the money game?
So many of us struggle with winning the money game. Cost of living is so high, gas prices are all over the place, and most of us have had the thought of buying chickens for eggs.
Can we put the blame entirely on those things? Could the truth be we haven’t been playing the game right? While the board game of LIFE leaves a lot to chance, in the real game of LIFE, don’t we hold more control?
You may feel as if you don’t have control but the ability to gain control is in your hands.
How do you gain control of and start winning the money game of LIFE?
Step 1, get on a budget.
The very first step and the foundation of winning the money game of LIFE is getting on a budget. When you begin to budget you begin to see how much money you have and where it’s actually going. Once you know where your money is going, you can start actually telling your money where to go.
Step 2, the WHEN factor
We all enjoy purchasing new things like clothing, electronics, or even cars and eating out. While I think you should purchase these things, the WHEN factor is so important to add to your thinking.
