Money is paper and metal. That's it. But, human nature requires meaning to be attached to the things that we interact with using our sensing. In other words, we have an element of human life called "currency" or "money" and, if we learn to use and master it (instead of it mastering us), we get to enjoy it and leverage it. So, here are the four things to do with money. Meaning, where do you start when you have none or a limited? The concept is from the book: The 4 Laws of Financial Prosperity 1. Track: Look at your bank accounts, assets, every day. Measure. See. Allow it to sink in. Sit with it. Feel it. Just realize where you are at, objectively. Know where you are at. 2. Target: Do you like where your money is at? If not, set milestones and break down to smaller steps. But, what ever you do, do not forget that you will move (and the ["universe"/(God and His angels)] will move toward your end goal, but only once it's clear and defined. Write down what you are wanting to gain in money increase and by when. Then, move forward with faith, (which is an action word). 3. Trim: Cut like crazy anything that is not helping you live your desired life or an asset to achieving your targets. 4. Train: Go learn. Attend an investment seminar. Learn how to invest in real estate even if you're not ready to. Go see how much money you can get a loan for, what you would qualify for, if you were to buy the business for sale on the corner. Go talk to a tax guy/gal and see what the steps are to doing your own taxes. Get educated. Create an account on Robinhood, a stock market app. Just get in the rhythm and some day, you'll pull the trigger, but only because you were there and had the understanding (and your body and nervous system didn't scream at you this time) because you had all the information to make a rational decision. I wrote an article about this last year about this topic. It goes more in depth and has more resources. https://joshholladay.beehiiv.com/p/design-by-the-4-money-laws
