Actually finishing a book: the application
I finished reading Unf*ck your finances a few weeks ago. I let books sit for a while before I go back through them to pull quotes and re-read my marginalia.
I’ve realised that I didn’t finish the process.
Here’s the overview and what I actually actioned:
Do a financial detox.
It’s 30 days, I’m partway through but it has been a halfhearted effort.
Understand how you think and feel.
The exercises are complete. I posted about them and I’ve kept the original pieces of paper tucked into the book.
Understand your values.
The exercises are complete. I’ve integrated these values into my keystone document.
Work out your goals.
Done. I listed the goals on my keystone document.
It’s all downhill from here.
Work out a plan.
I worked out the what (monthly savings goals) but not the how (where that will come from, how much I need to bring in etc.).
Understand how you’re spending.
I haven’t done done this.
Start to become a conscious consumer.
I cannot remember what this means.
Remove yourself from temptation.
I cannot remember what this means.
Seek help.
I cannot remember what this means.
Consistently monitor, gauge adjust and track.
I remember reading this and thinking I should do it but I didn’t do it.
My action plan
Integrate, archive, or throw out the reflective exercises.
I’ll re-evaluate the 30 day financial detox at end June.
Work out the how of the plan
Re-read these chapters and figure out action items:
I’ll be talking about this for the next few days. Feel free to follow along.
