Staying On Track

πŸ“† Practice Skills Routinely

Build momentum with consistency β€” not complexity.

Mastering your money doesn’t 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.

Here’s how often to revisit each of the 5 skills to stay on track:


πŸ—“οΈ 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.

🎯 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.

πŸ’° 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.


πŸ—“οΈ Monthly Check-In (20–30 mins)

Once a month, align reality with your plan. This is where you track what happened and decide how to direct the month ahead.

πŸ’Έ Track recent cashflow

Review last month’s income, expenses, and savings. Spot trends. This is your scoreboard β€” it fuels motivation.

πŸ₯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.


πŸ—“οΈ Occasional Refresh (as needed)

Some things don’t need monthly attention β€” but when life changes, they do.

🏠 Tally assets & liabilities

Update this when:

 ‒ You buy/sell something significant
 ‒ Pay off or take on new debt
 ‒ Want to track net worth momentum

Otherwise, check it during your quarterly review.
