Dear Aida,

Every financial life — no matter how simple or complex — ultimately comes down to three movements:

Getting money.
Using money.
Storing money.

These movements are so fundamental that they often go unnoticed.
Most people focus almost entirely on the first one — getting — and live in confusion about the other two.

But “get–use–store” is the foundation of every durable financial life.
And your relationship to these three movements will determine whether money becomes a source of freedom
or a source of perpetual stress.
