Saving For The Fun

It’s so important to be the primary beneficiary on your partner’s accounts. You should also name your partner as your primary beneficiary. This protects you and them when either of you pass away. Don’t make things more complicated when it’s that time. Be responsible and take the time to update your beneficiary. It’s the financially responsible thing to do.

When you allow yourself opportunities to practice your new money mantra this allows for an incredible mindset shift. Whatever it is you want more of or want to change, live in that, create opportunities to be that. I find it difficult to spend money on myself. I feel guilty when I buy things and at times shame when I know I shouldn’t feel this way. “I can make guilt free purchase that make me happy” is what I tell myself. I know if I want to live in this truth I have to first create a budget and set aside a budget for my personal spending. I give myself the opportunity to be in charge of my money, I tell it what to do, and in return I can spend guilt free on something that brings me joy.

Remember, what you focus on grows. You are worthy of telling yourself positive, life-changing affirmations. This new money mantra will help you shift the story you keep telling yourself to a positive one where you can start believing anything is possible. The key here is to believe it. Now, go out there and write this mantra down in places in your home you frequent often, in your car, in your phone. Repeat these words of power. The more you say them the more you will believe them. Here are a few of mine. I used to say, I will always have debt- “I will live in a cash cycle”. I used to say I will never get to retire, “I am an investor”. I used to say, I need to save all my money and that I didn’t deserve to buy anything for myself and would feel guilty if I did, “I can make guilt free purchases that makes me happy”.

Isn’t that what we all want? Term life insurance is the key to getting the peace of mind that your family is financially protected should the unexpected occur. Bit.ly/PriDisclosures
