If you’re like me, your brain can’t even fathom how it’s the end of Q1 of 2021. Where has the year gone? What have I done? It seems I’ve gone from one thing to the next, sometimes crawling through grief, anxiety, fear, and general malaise (ugh).
But as things start to open up and we see glimpses of recovery, I’m ready to regain my life. I’m ready to take control again. I’m ready to set goals and be mindful of where I’m at with my money.
I shared my end-of-month money process on social media and got a lot of questions about it.
Then I thought, why don’t I get people together to do it with me?! I know how much this money date has changed my life and finances. It helps me feel more confident on the 1st of the month, plus I’m clear about my goals and where I’m at.
If you feel like you’ve been burying your head in the sand about your finances, or neglect them until the last minute, join me tonight March 31, at 6pm PT/9pm ET for a money management check-in.
I invite you to do this for free if you’d like. But I am charging the price of a cappuccino ($5) because you’ll be FAR MORE LIKELY to actually show up if you exchange money for value. I’ve hosted many free events and been to many free events myself and the fact is people don’t take them that seriously. If you’d like to meet others, know where you’re at with your finances in a judgment-free zone, come tonight.
You do NOT have to share your numbers with me, unless you want to and think it’s helpful. We’ll be doing this separately but together over Zoom and I’ll walk you through everything.
Want the free stuff? You can check out my podcast the Mental Health and Wealth show where I release episodes every Friday. I also host a Mental Health and Wealth Hangout every other Thursday at 5pm PT over Zoom, which is free (though there is a suggested donation of $3).
Hope to see you there! Whatever you do, take care of your mental health and wealth.
