The $100. Challenge!

In my workshop this past week we talked of the tales of years passed, and how money, and our relationship with money has changed tremendously.

One thing is constant: if we keep track of the small money, it will have an impact on the big money.  It has worked that way since the money world began.

It is so easy these days to just keep pouring money into parking meters, shopping at the expensive shops and overlooking the best time to buy sale items. Our lives are very busy! And, it is easier to purchase something right in front of us, rather than do the research and seek out the best model or price. But in contrast, we are short changing ourselves. We (generally females) are the ones making the lists, cleaning up and keeping everyone happy, so of course we need to cut a few corners to get everything done.

This time of year when the chore list seems to grow every day, busy women are not appreciating themselves and all they do for others.

I challenged each person at the workshop to spend the next earned $100. on themselves. Evaluate the effort it took to make that money, appreciate its value and decide to buy something worthwhile (and to the heart) for themselves. Be kind to yourself and show yourself some appreciation. Selfish or selfless? A tough dilemma.

Reassessing everything you buy and everything you bring into your home will help you assess everything in your life. You will develop a watchful eye.

We shall see who takes the challenge. If you have a story to share about a seasonal splurge on YOU, please send it in to kathryn@kathrynwilking.com as I would love to hear your story!

All email is confidential and will not be shared unless I have your permission.

Take care of yourself this holiday season. (((HUGS)))
