“If you’ve never asked yourself before I urge you to ponder what brings you profound and meaningful joy. Grab a notebook and write down six things that are deeply important to you. These ideas can be focused on your family life, your career, your leisure time or how you interact with the world at large. Importantly they aren’t intermediate or material things like money. We need to go deeper to find the Why? behind intermediate ones Money becomes home I want for my family and the education I want for my children or the help I want to give my parents, the vacation I want to take, the philanthropy I want to do, the hobby I want to pursue. Here are some examples to get you started. Family/home life: giving my kids quality education and home and community where they can thrive, feeling on the same page as my partner and being supported my goals and values, also having time for fun romantic connection, having a warm organized space where everything works and I can find what I need. Career: earning enough money that I can afford to live where I need to and have a certain amount of ease in my decision-making, not fretting over every cent, enough money that I can take care of my needs well, also helping to support my elderly parents, feeling valued, getting to learn, contributing to something I find important. Personal time: eating healthy, nourishing food, and spending time outdoors, getting enough sleep and taking care of my health, being connected to friends and family and being able to spend time sharing experiences together.”

“Sometimes when a marriage isn’t working the drain it places on your energy outweighs any help it might provide in paying the bills. When you end a bad marriage you are going to reclaim mental resources, energy and time, and remember - time is the building block of utility, it can be converted into money or turned directly into happiness. The extra time you have from disengaging in a losing battle can go into strengthening your own human capital and growing your earning power.”
