7 Strategic Solutions for Creating a New Relationship with Money

Strategic Solution #5:

Create a Plan of Circulation
(formerly known as a budget)

I began thinking about how to create a plan for where your money goes each month and what to call it.

Budget is too much like the word diet. We don’t like diets and, therefore, they usually don’t work.

Spending plan makes me think of being spent - you come home from work really tired and say “Whew, I’m really spent” meaning your energy is drained. We don’t want to think of our money as being spent.

Plan of circulation fits best as we always want our money circulating - in and out. Remember more money can't come in if we hoard what we've got from a place on "not enough", the belief that there will never be enough.

We must know there is always enough and come from that place.
