Everyday habits that hold everything up.

An index of ~15 questions — Where the honest thinking begins

•If your income stopped for three months tomorrow, would you be inconvenienced or in trouble?
•Do you know where your money actually went last month, or only that it's gone?
•Are you saving what's left after spending or spending what's left after saving?
•Is the money sitting "safely" in your savings account quietly losing value while you feel responsible?
•When your salary rises, does your saving rise with it or only your spending?
•Is your EMI buying you something that grows, or something that shrinks the moment you own it?
•Do you own your lifestyle or does the EMI on it own you?
•If a big expense hit this week, would it come from a fund you kept ready or from your investments?
•Are you managing your money, or just watching it pass through your account?
•What's the real cost of the years you wait to begin and can you ever earn them back?
•Is a bigger salary making you wealthier, or just raising the price of your life?
•Do you have a plan for your money, or only intentions?
•When did you last check whether your money habits still fit the life you're living now?
•Are you building financial freedom or just a more expensive version of the same worry?
•If your children copied exactly how you handle money, would you be glad or worried?
