Greetings, my prosperous friends!
Today we get to deposit $6000. Do you realize what we are doing here? Sure, we're finally getting a chance to buy all the things we've ever wanted so that we can live our lives more fully. And yes, we are all giving some of it away, because it just feels right to share the wealth. But we are doing something even more awesome here: We are creating wealth not just for ourselves, but for the entire economy. Think about it. As we are spending our generous daily allotment, the people and companies who provide those goods and services are receiving money that they can use to pay salaries to the people who produce and deliver those goods and services. Talk about a stimulus plan!
I think it's important to include that fact in our daily visualization, because I firmly believe that money isn't attracted to us just because we want toys; it is attracted to us because we have a desire to use that money to provide "more life for all," as Wallace Wattles puts it. Who is Wallace Wattles? You'll find out more in an upcoming clue.
Today I'm depositing $6000 into my imaginary checkbook. I am imagining that I earned this money as a bonus for making the pool store $60,000 dollars profit in a short period of time. The boss-shaped creature was so happy that he gave me a 10% bonus. Thing 1 and Thing 2 also got bonuses, because without the entire team working together we would have been unable to attain that level of growth.
One of my most persistent longings of late has been to have a room of my own where I can set up my office, library, and music studio. When I gave up my condo in the bankruptcy, I had to give up my perfectly designed work space, and I've been feeling the lack of it. Originally, I thought I would use some of this daily money to rent myself a house until I had enough money to buy something. But I decided that I don't want any bills, I just want a room. So I've decided to build a room onto the front of Keith's already-paid-for house. Because he's really good at that kind of stuff, I asked Keith to help me estimate the cost. Apparently $15,000 will build me a basic room. That will include labor, materials, electricity, walls, ceilings, windows, drywall. Basic room, no plumbing. That way, I can still live and work right from home.
So here is today's accounting:
$6000 deposit
$ 600 God's money goes again today to the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra
$1200 Wealth Building Account (total $3600)
$4200 Continue building my room addition (total $7700)
By tomorrow my room will be finished. Don't you wish building projects would happen that quickly in real life? By building this room I am enhancing my quality of life, giving Keith more room to breathe, and paying a generous salary to the people building my room (Keith and Luke, to be precise). Home Depot and all of their employees and vendors have also benefitted. The world is a better place because that room is there.
That's it for today. Now it's time to go out and make some more money!
Visualizing how we are helping the economy and everyone positively affected by our spending is a great concept! It's also time for me to get a little more disciplined in my wealth building strategy, as well as buying some things I want, a few things that I need as well.
ReplyDeleteI really like my Ford truck. I've driven Fords for a long time now and I like their products. Plus, of all the U.S. car companies, I admire that Ford refused the bailout money and already had a great plan in place. They have an outstanding CEO and I am going to invest some of my new wealth there.
My penchant for a few more toys also needs to be satisfied and I realize that my circa 2003 computer is no longer powerful enough to drive the software I use and that which I will soon be using to edit my videos. So here's today's spending plan:
Deposit: $6,000
300 shares of Ford stock: $2,100
New Dell computer with awesome processors: $3,500
New software bundle: $400
So far, in the 6 days of this project, I have spent my money on:
Helping others: $5,000
Photo equipment: $9,750
Woodworking equipment: $250
Wealth building: $2,100
Computer equipment: $3,900
For a total of $21,000. Not bad!
$6000 deposit. Wow. Commissions are up. At some point, the little movie in my head see's these checks coming in from speaking engagements. I've always been a bit of a ham & a few recent events have made me remember all the plays & musicals my friends & I put on to the delight of the family pets & chagrin of Harold, my best friends little brother & captive audience when we babysat.
ReplyDeleteSo commissions for now, but soon I'm going to have to find another legal means to keep the cash rolling in.
$6000 deposit.
$1000 to the Symphony. Even at $1000 a day it will take a few months to check off Aaron's wish list.
$2000 towards my debt ($6000 so far, very cool.)
$100 to have my shrubs trimmed all around the house
$400 to have the shrubs yanked up in the front of the house. I've hated them for 25 years, those bad boys are outta here.
$3500 to pay someone else for a complete exterior paint job. I still want that high end Benjamin Moore paint that hubby likes, but for this job, he can supervise & let someone else sweat it out. I'm pretty traditional with house colors, & will repaint bright white with my lovely red door.
(Bob, I'm proud of you for buying the Ford stock. I have to say, I liked my Suburban alot more when the GM didn't stand for Government Motors.)
Deposit: $6000
ReplyDelete$2000 - pay toward credit card debt
$1760 - contribute to IRA (this year's maximum $5000 has been met)
$340 - to repair rock dents and upholstery trim so when lease is up, I won't be dinged for damage... ahhh, the car looks so nice, back to original!
$100 - to my friends charity walk in a couple of weeks
$300 - savings
$1500 - new MacBook so I can take work with me during the Houston stay
Spending today's money took a lot more thought and planning. Does that mean responsibility is kicking in? : )
_I should let go of the past and stop punishing myself TRY TO MOVE ON AND ACCEPT NOW!
