Money date No. 44: What life does this money support?
Plus, learning Spanish, overdrafting and a huge boost to my savings account
Coming to you exactly two years since I shared my first money date in June 2024. Like a tired cliche, I truly don’t know where the time has gone. When I look back on the life I’ve recorded these past two years through money dates and other essays, I can see just how much I’ve changed and progressed since then — even though it feels like it could have been just a few weeks ago.
I continue to be grateful for this space to share these reflections and conversations with you and to have this very orderly record of the very disorderly life I’ve been living.
I hope your own money dates can offer you the same satisfaction! Remember, this is way more about the life your money supports than it is about how you move money around. I love these check-ins for helping me see the joyful ways I use money and for constantly reminding me of the values I want my money to support.
💡 A money date is an exercise I crafted for You Don’t Need a Budget. Subscribers can follow along in a private space after the paywall, and I encourage you to steal my questions to guide your own reflections!
