My Financial Inspiration

September 18, 2024 "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!" — Audrey HepburnSometimes I think about the reasons I want or need to do things. Why do I go to work, why do I travel, why do I study, why do I want to buy a house? I concluded that some reasons exist out of necessity, others out of desire. I try to balance my life between what I need and want. My motivation in life is my family. My inspiration is the many times I did something I thought was impossible. Some things might take longer to achieve, but the key is to keep moving and doing things that will make my dreams a reality.My financial goals, both short- and long-term, are based on what makes me happy. I want to have the financial freedom to travel, retire and support my entrepreneurial businesses. I want to travel because I want to see my family often and experience the world. A healthy retirement plan will ensure that I can continue to do the things that make me happy. Growing my business will allow me to fill my life with purpose. For all of this, I need to have financial goals and a plan to have a road map to get there.Every little or big task that I complete that gets me closer to my financial goals is a celebration to me. For example, paying the balance on a credit card, increasing my savings, sticking to my monthly budget – everything counts and motivates me because I am closer to the finish line. Working with my Project Money coach has given me the tools, resources, inspiration and motivation to work towards my financial freedom.
