365 days to your richest life: day 7
Wherever you are on the income/asset scale, for the next 24 hours, think like a prosperous person.
If you have a moment of anxiety about financial issues, tell yourself that “All my needs will be met abundantly and with ease.” Each time you feel a jolt of anxiety, say it again. Say it until the jolt of anxiety goes away for good, or at least for today.
Figure out roughly how much you earned today, after deductions, and go online and open two new accounts within your primary bank account, one for saving and one for contributing to your community, church or cherished cause. Put 10% of your net earnings for the day in each account — see how good that feels? Try it again tomorrow, and the day after that.
Think about where you’ll be at this time next year: free of anxiety about money, with 10% of your net income saved for the purpose of bringing your dreams of the future to fruition, and an active, powerful force for good in the world.
Note: if you have high interest credit card debt that you can’t afford to pay off monthly, dedicate your 10% savings to paying off your highest interest credit card (on top of the minimum payments you’re already making. Once that’s done, start on the next-highest interest card, and so on, until you can begin saving for yourself. No less than the person with $100,000 in the bank, you’re on your way to freedom, one day at a time. Take the right step every day and the destination becomes inevitable.
If a bill comes in, celebrate the opportunity it give you to participate in the commercial flow of your community. Pay it promptly
