The question we need to ask ourselves isn’t Can I? or Should I? It’s What do I want my money to do for me? Answering this question will help us cope with endless options, pressure to keep up with the Joneses, and the paralyzing fear that we’re just not being smart with our money. What do I want my money to do for me? works like a gut check that helps us see whether our priorities are driving our money decisions. When we know what we want our money to do for us, the options become a lot less daunting, and confidence quickly replaces the stress.
