The fourth chapter of Your Money or Your Life deals with fulfillment. It includes three questions that will assist you in clarifying what fulfills you. The three questions are:
- Did I receive fulfillment, satisfaction and value in proportion to life energy spent?
- Is this expenditure of life energy in alignment with my values and life purpose?
- How might this expenditure change if I didn’t have to work for a living?
After asking yourself these three questions you will probably discover some expenditures that you would like to change or eliminate. I still sometimes spend money on stuff that receives a “no” answer for one and/or two but doing this step helps me reduce such expenditures. The third question allows you to see that enough might be less if you didn’t have to work.
