Mary King's eNews - Why Would You Like to Have Money?
July 2007
Hello,
Have you thought about the reasons you would like to have more money?
What are the values underlying your reasons? What are your real needs? What are your real wants?
Recently I read the book Love Your Money Love Your Life by Anne Hartley.
Anne says their are only three values underlying our reasons for wanting money. These are freedom, prosperity and security.
Do you want more money so you can be free in your choices? Do you want the freedom to travel where and when you want? Do you want to feel free to make decisions unrestricted by lack of money?
Would you like to feel prosperous and have all the trappings associated with being wealthy? Do you want an affluent lifestyle?
Or would you rather feel secure knowing that the dollars are handled? Do you want to relax because you know where the next dollar is coming from? Do you want to know the house is paid off?
When we know why we want to have money we can make sure we have taken that need into consideration. Perhaps you would like to have more than one need fulfilled.
Whatever your reasons it is important to know your main basis for wanting money and wealth: then you can make sure that need is the one you are meeting.
I think freedom is the value that runs my life (with a little bit of prosperity in there for good measure).
Gabrielle and I are business partners in a little laundry business we started with the money we saved in our Freedom Fund Jam Jar Bank. We recently returned from a wonderful trip walking in the countryside of Portugal and Spain. We felt amazingly free as we walked along singing. Meanwhile back at the little laundry business the money was coming in passively while we played. How free life is when you do not have to turn up to work everyday because passive income is happening even when you are on holidays.
I am conducting a two day Rich is Better Wealth for Women workshop at the State Library in Sydney on 18th and 19th August. If you live in NSW please email me your details so I can call you. If you have friends in NSW please forward this email to them. This is the first time I have conducted this workshop in Sydney and filling the room is important. If that means sensational discounts that is what I am willing to do. Contact me!
Best wishes,
Mary King
