What is the purpose of your money? 

Money is so weird. No wait, money is not weird. We’re weird with money.

We amass it either by working for it, receiving it as a gift, inhertaince, trust, lottery or cashing out of invesmtnent or real estate or business positions. And yet, no matter the source of the money we amass, few of us think about the purpose of our money.

What do we want it to provide for us? Sure, we can talk about the basics: shelter, food, but beyond that it can quickly get murky. So, how much for travel? How much for subscriptions? How much for lifestyle needs? And you said food was easy, well it’s not when one person wants to eat out a lot more than the other.

Consider the purpose of your money to reduce the chance of asking this question later: What happened to my money?
