Everyone has a different emotional response to money. We all have different expectations, goals and dreams related to money.
To get a handle on what money means to you and what purpose money has in your life, imagine you have just won a very large lottery. Imagine winning a lottery that will pay you several thousand dollars every month for the rest of your life. Imagine any amount of money you wish. Now, what will you do with that money? What are the first things you will buy? How much will you give away? To whom will you give money? Why?
Once you begin to have a few ideas about how you would spend millions of dollars, consider what those decisions reflect about you? What are the most important things in your life? What things are not very important? Why? Do you believe your answers will change as you get older or if your family structure changes? What are your financial priorities right now and what would they be if you won millions of dollars? What circumstances would cause your financial priorities to change?
How would you spend your millions?
