You know that feeling of wanting to “be better” with your money? But you don’t know where to start? We hear you. We’ve been there. And we can show you how to feel like a badass with your money instead!
We’ve each built million dollar net worths in 10 years with a simple money system. That’s why we started @buildwealthlikeabadass – so we can share what we’ve learnt and help you build your badass, thriving life too.
The 1st thing to realize about your money is this: “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll end up someplace else.” Yogi Berra said this and it couldn’t be more true about money.
So where do you want to go with your money?
- Live without anxiety about money?
- Go on dream vacations?
- Become a millionaire?
- Send your kid(s) to college?
- Buy your forever home?
- Live in the woods? Live in utter luxury? Live in a nice neighborhood in anywhere, USA?
- All of the above?
To us, that’s what building wealth like a badass is all about. Being able to live any kind of life you want and knowing how to make that happen with your money. Simply. Without needing a degree in finance. So let’s get started.
Step I: know your numbers.
Get to know yourself financially so you can map out exactly how to build your thriving life.
This doesn’t take long at all – it takes us 15 minutes a month. You read that right. We sit down once a month, usually with our favorite dessert or bottle of wine, and have ourselves a money date. We look at our key numbers, change anything that needs changing in our money system, and make sure we’re walking down the path that we chose for our money to build our badass lives.
Numbers we track
Income
We track this for two reasons:
- We want to see it grow over time.
- We want to see how it relates to how much we spend every month.
Pay Yourself First Number
The amount of your income you are putting away for yourself. I.e. putting into savings & investments. We’ll go over how to find your number in Pay Yourself First.
Spending
We don’t budget. But we do keep track of the total amount we spend every month so we can do the quick gut check that we are spending less than we are earning. And if we see a spike one month, we can find out what that was for.
Net Worth
This is the number that matters, all your assets minus your liabilities. This is your wealth in building wealth like a badass. If you’re paying yourself first and saving & investing every month, this number should grow in the long run.
This might sound like a lot, but we’ve got you. We built a tracker you can update every month and know exactly what your money is doing so you can make sure you’re going where you want to go. The first time you fill out these numbers in your money date, it will take you some time to learn where to grab the numbers you need and find your way around your finances. But we promise, every time you do this, it gets easier until you’re wishing your money date was longer to finish that dessert or that bottle of wine.
