Hi Reader,

In my part of the world, we’re welcoming spring. And I really mean it -almost two weeks of sunshine, temperatures finally rising above zero, and warmth reaching my bones on every walk outside.

It’s hard to believe that just a month ago the lake in our city was frozen solid and people were ice-skating on it.

As winter fades, it changes not only the weather but also our money attitude.

We focus on the next big thing or the next goal.

But today I’d like to invite you to open the notes where you wrote your goals for this year and take a quick look at how far you’ve already come.

Spring is also a reminder that the first quarter of the year is nearly behind us.

That makes it a perfect moment to reflect on how far or how close to our (money) goals we are now.

If you'd like, try this simple 3-step goals check:

1. Look at your original goals.

​
​2. Notice where you are now. Are you closer to it? Still at the beginning? Or has something else become more important?

3. Choose the next small step that moves you in the right direction.​
​

And because many things compete for your attention and your money, having a simple way to think through decisions can help.

I created a free Money Decision Checklist. You can get it here:

Have a sunny day!

P.S. I’m always curious: When you look at your goals today, what feels different from the beginning of the year? Let me know.

P.P.S. With International Women’s Day, here’s to women supporting women, building confidence, and creating lives that feel truly their own 🌼
