Earlier this year, I resolved to try to save $5,000 during 2010. I decided that I would do it by accumulating $1,250 per quarter and then use most of that amount to pay off debt, as it wouldn't make sense for me to build up that much cash before at least one of my credit cards is paid off. I'm pleased to report that I'm on track to accomplish this goal.
Last night, I went to bed way too late--but that's OK, because I thought up the following formulation. I don't want to be one of those people who insufferably come up with "personal mission statements" or "affirmations", but surely it's good to chart the course for my professional and financial life in this way.
I want any money I make to be a reflection of my performance, so that I can share it with others to help them attain their dreams. If I can accomplish that in this lifetime, I will consider myself truly wealthy.
Kinda has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Thank you very much for your very thoughtful and considered comment. I approach the journey in very much the same way as you've described yours.
