5 simple principles to master money. (And why they’re so hard to implement in real life.) Here’s what to do about it.
Reader,
Mastering money is simple.
- Know what you make and what you spend
- Make more than you spend
- Save a portion of the surplus so you don’t go into debt for ‘emergencies’
- Invest the rest of the surplus to grow wealth
- Leverage compounding over time to maximize your investment returns
5 simple principles to be wealthy and financially free.
Right?
Nah.
Most people are struggling with most, if not all of these ‘simple’ principles.
That’s why most people aren’t financially free.
You know why?
The process of executing these 5 principles is fraught with strong emotions that pull, push, or keep us stuck.
How many people stick with tracking what they make and spend?
How many people are stuck spending more than they make?
How many people don’t have surplus savings to deal with emergencies?
How many people still have any surplus left after taking care of everything they need to live to still invest?
How many people leave their investment alone to compound over decades instead of feeling compelled to touch it to make a quick buck?
Yup.
Money is totally emotional.
Mastering money is simple, but far from easy.
Until you get a handle on those emotions
that make you do things you know you shouldn’t with your money
but still can’t seem to help it.
Calming yourself during the process of implementing these 5 simple principles as you go through life,
is how you can finally be a master of your money, rather than a slave to it.
The first step to getting a handle on how you feel about money is to notice what those sensations feel like.
The easiest way to do this is to pay attention to where in your body it shows up.
Then name it and give it a color, texture, or smell.
Emotions are intangible, giving them form helps us wrap our heads around it.
Now that you can see it, we can deal with it.
To release its hold on you, you have to change the way you relate to it.
This is what I help women do.

I imagined this vision of the farm What a quiet morning in the UK showed me about looking back, and why I stopped waiting for a job to look after me. I'm writing this from a hotel in the UK. This week's podcast was recorded in the hotel bathroom. It was the only quiet room. My son was out in the room on his laptop with his friends, and I had about 15 minutes. That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...
Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...
The call I wasn't expecting Last week I was in a meeting when my phone lit up with a number I didn't recognize. I let it go to voicemail. A minute later, a text: "Call me back as soon as you can." It was a police investigator. I won't go into the details, but it meant a sudden change to who's helping run our household overnight, no warning. On top of that, my previous boss who brought me into the company was let go and replaced by a new one who was parachuted in by head office. As a result,...
