What is Your Relationship with Money?
This question got me thinking about the single best relationship I have in my life: My Wife Jennifer
So, I asked myself what is it that makes my relationship with Jennifer so amazing? I started thinking about the foundation our relationship. I started remembering our first dates! I smiled.
This got me thinking about money and my relationship with money. Do I treat money with the same level of respect that I give my wife? Hang with the metaphor here... because it will really start to reflect back to you how you relate with money.
Imagine this... write out the relationship you have with money using the metaphor of a date. (Think about how you treat money and how that would be reflected if you were out on a date with money.)
Here are some questions to get you started:
- Did I invite money to join me, or just expect it to show up?
- Do I open the door for money?
- Do I give money my undivided attention throughout the entire date? Do I keep track of money or just ignore it being distracted by other things?
- Do I plan an amazing evening filled with various events and fun things?
- Do I even offer to pick money up? Or do I expect money to meet me there?
- Do I tell money how great it looks and how happy I am to be out with money?
- Do I hide money for my friends and family if they are around?
- Do I pay for the tab or expect money to pay half?
- Do I take money home? Or put money in a cab?
- Do I walk money to the door?
- Do I politely tell money what a great night I had?
- Do I expect something from money at the end of the date?
You get the point. I could go on (and on)....
What if you were on a date with money, what would I see you doing?

One of the principles that The Happy Healthy Wealthy Game is based on is Awareness. (The other two are Action and Accountability.) The process above will get you thinking, reflecting, and seeing yourself more clearly. It is only when we see ourselves that we have the power to make changes that improve our situation and create the success we want. That is what The Happy Healthy Wealthy Game does! It reflects back to you exactly how you are living your life. How you do anything is how you do everything! The Happy Healthy Wealthy Game opens your awareness to see the tricks and traps that derailed and sabotaged you in the past. Then it gives you power to make it different this time.
As Jack Canfield says in the endorsement on the left side of this website,
"...think about this, if one year from now just by investing 90 days of your life, at the end of the year you are happier, healthier and wealthier, wouldn't that be worth any investment? Well, its not even expensive. So, I want to encourage you, participate in The Happy Healthy Wealthy Game. I did, many of my colleagues and friends did, and are very happy we did - And we are healthier and wealthier too."
