Have you asked yourself this important question: What really matters to me?
Getting clear on our values is foundational to living life joyfully, but figuring this out with certainty is challenging and tricky.
Joyful Spending simplifies this process so you can make big life choices, easily talk about money, and design your ideal life!
DATA SAYS
THIS MATTERS
For decades, many of us have been seeking the answer to the question, "What really matters to me?"
Then, we were all forced into quarantine, our social calendars shifted dramatically, our work and home life blended into one, and it forced us ALL to simultaneously l 👀 k around and explore what matters to us.
The critical mass has made the data emerge clearly.
So, what have we been doing during this time (besides Netflixing)?
Data shows we have been adjusting our spending habits, exploring new life design trends, or wanting to - all with mixed results!
Statistics show, most of us have now learned about, fantasized about, or tried one of these life design trends...
This should come as no surprise.
Across the world, large sets of people have taken this secluded time as an opportunity to explore, get clear on, or make changes to their life design - many even chose to document their process on YouTube or reality shows!
This is seen in the people who have decluttered, going through piles of belongings, while applying Marie Kondo's philosophy on stuff + tidying up.
As we watched her reality show, most found the process emotionally draining, others found it exhilarating, and many fought with their partner throughout the experience.
Undeterred, we have tried it ourselves. Data shows we have also focused on finances and made massive life changes to meet money goals with things like embracing Minimalism, F.I.R.E., Van Life, or Zero Waste lifestyle trends.
All these big life experiments have had significant consequences - many documented deep struggles, regretting their choices, or splitting up with their partner when going through the process.
WHY IS THIS A BIG DEAL? 👀
Each trend reflects a different set of values and for a chosen trend to be embraced fully, we have to make big changes in our day-to-day living.
BUT ...
We are making massive changes before doing the work to make sure these trends match our core values and actually align with what matters to us.
We are shifting our spending, habits, and lifestyle and expecting others to hop on board without the language or clarity to do this with respect and understanding in relationships.
WE NEED TO REMEMBER ...
Talking about money, making big decisions, and getting clear on your ideal life are necessary core elements in this process.
