Get Into Action!
We already have our $500 goals for the My 15 Minutes program. We’ve also thought about future holidays. Now it’s time to think longer-term. Today’s task has three parts:- Think of something BIG which you would like to have or do in the future (eg. buy a home, have an extended overseas holiday, buy a car, have an extension to the house, donate a significant charitable gift, pay for self or family education...)
- Find an image that symbolises this for you (eg. picture of the Greek Isles, image of recipients of your gift, picture of your dream car) and either change your desktop or phone wallpaper to this image, or print the image and frame it. (Yes, frame it - it makes it seem more valuable and ‘real’).
- Make an appointment with a financial advisor to begin discussions on how to turn this dream into a reality.

"A penny here, and a dollar there, placed at interest, goes on accumulating, and in this way the desired result is attained. It requires some training, perhaps, to accomplish this economy, but when once used to it, you will find there is more satisfaction in rational saving than in irrational spending"
