“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”
~ Johann von Goethe
82 Workbook 2: Improve Your Financial Life
4. Every time you spend money, write it down in your Spending Record. Always include the date and a brief description of what you bought. Then put the amount in the top box at the right of the page (Spent and Balance column), and subtract that amount from the prior balance. Record the new balance in the shaded box. This way you’ll know where your money went and how much is left.
5. Record all the money you earn in the Money Earned column. Next, decide how much of those earnings you want to deposit in Your Dream Savings Account. Write that amount in the “Dream Savings Account” column. The money left over is put in the “Spent and Balance” column for your immediate use; but make sure you add this amount to the balance—don’t subtract it.
6. When you have completely filled a Spending Record sheet, total each column at the bottom of the page. Carry the balance of the Money Saved and Spent and Balance totals to the next record sheet.
7. Always use your Dream Builder and record everything you earn and spend. Think about your balance. If Your Dream Account is nearly empty, then be willing to change... work harder and spend less. It’s worth it to achieve your dreams.
