Staying On Track
π Practice Skills Routinely
Build momentum with consistency β not complexity.
Mastering your money doesnβt require hours every week.
It just needs a repeatable rhythm that helps you course-correct, stay aligned, and build progress over time β even when life changes around you.
Hereβs how often to revisit each of the 5 skills to stay on track:
ποΈ Quarterly Deep-Dive (1 hour)
Every 3 months, take a moment to zoom out and reset your direction. Use this time to reconnect with your bigger picture and make sure your system reflects reality.
π― Create compelling goals
Review your current goals. Are they still relevant? Do you want to add, remove, or update any?
Revisit your impact statements to stay motivated.
π° Predict future saving
Update your forecast based on any new info β income changes, lifestyle shifts, or new goal priorities.
This keeps your roadmap current and credible.
ποΈ Monthly Check-In (20β30 mins)
Once a month, align reality with your plan. This is where you track what happened and decide how to direct the month ahead.
πΈ Track recent cashflow
Review last monthβs income, expenses, and savings. Spot trends. This is your scoreboard β it fuels motivation.
π₯Έ Give every dollar a job
Map your actual income for the new month to your essential, lifestyle, and goal allocations. Physically move the money or set up automation.
ποΈ Occasional Refresh (as needed)
Some things donβt need monthly attention β but when life changes, they do.
π Tally assets & liabilities
Update this when:
ββ’ You buy/sell something significant
ββ’ Pay off or take on new debt
ββ’ Want to track net worth momentum
Otherwise, check it during your quarterly review.
