Touch with your money
One way to get in touch with your money is to actually start touching it again, to handle cash, to feel and respect it, to delight in spending it the way you did as a child, to enjoy choosing not to spend it, to take pleasure in putting it away now for later.
This third step toward financial freedom, then, is about getting back in touch with your money and understanding that you have the power to decide how to use it. And it’s about being honest with yourself. You have looked back to your childhood memories of money and connected them to your fears today and created new truths to keep the voice of those fears from paralyzing you against taking action. Now we are about to face your present reality. We will compare the money you have coming in with the money you have going out—real income, real expenses. With this step, by being willing to face up to what you are really doing with your money, your thoughts, actions, and words about money will begin to merge and become truthful, With this step, you begin to take control of your financial life in a concrete way.
