So many of us move through life just going from one day to the next, without even knowing why we are doing what we do. We know we should save for retirement, we know we should save for college for our kids. But we don’t ever seem to get around to it. We know that we shouldn’t put that new blouse on the credit card or borrow the money to buy that boat, but we do it anyway. We know it would be wise to wait to buy a bigger house or a new car.

I believe it is because most people have never sat down to explore what’s really important to them. They don’t really know what they value in life. Oh, they may know how important it is to them to spend time with their family and friends. And they may know that they value honesty and integrity and hard work. But they have never sat down and listed out those things that are really important (valuable) to them and then aligned their financial decisions with those things that they value most.
