A Beginner’s System for Building Security in Small, Automatic Steps by Charles Wainer · a companion tool from the book
Chapter 2 · Companion tool
Here, and There
A GPS needs two points. Write three true sentences about your financial life as it is today, and three about the life you want, on a date you can picture.
Figure 1. Two points, then a route. Chapters 3 through 11 each work one of these three letters.
Here
There
Saved. You will refine both sides many times. For now the GPS has two rough points.
The second framework
Figure 2, in color. The same STEADY you saw on the cover. Print the poster (one page, letter size).
Chapter 2 also introduces STEADY. GPS sets the route once. The system runs every payday, without you. Once a month you glance at your net worth. Once a quarter, on the checkpoint dates you pick in Chapter 7, you run STEADY: six questions, twenty minutes. The card is on the Start Here page.
Keep the streak going
Finish the chapter in the book, then come back for the next tool. If something here did not land, bring it to Open Mic and I will walk through it live.
