Session 3:
Money and Your Dreams, Part 1
We started the session with celebrating the completion of a dream by a member of the class.  Dale always dreamed of going to cooking school.  He went to a weekend course in San Antonio, TX in late February.  Another member of the class and I got together and got him his own chef’s hat, coat and pants.  We also had the coat embroidered!  The up side to this is that he fixes something for us each meeting!

After that we discussed our reading and did our check-in of our 4 areas.
We started discussing the financial aspect of our dreams this session. We discussed how we feel about finances and what some of our financial dreams are for our future.  We also discussed budgeting and how it helps us to achieve these financial dreams.
Our homework included preparing a working draft of our personal budget and organizing our financial paperwork and details. And, of course, more reading in “The Rhythm of Life”.
Some other questions we were to think about before the next session.
  • What will you need for retirement?
  • What do you need now? In 5, 10, or 15 years?
  • What finances are needed to achieve your dreams?
  • What might be holding you back financially?
  • Who can provide information, support, or guidance to you with your finances? What resources are available to you?
  • What do you need to improve your comfort or confidence with your personal finances?
  • What questions do you have about your finances? Where can you find answers?
  • How would you like your finances or financial awareness to be different?
More on this topic in the next post!
