Exactly–most people don’t define success in terms of money, because we understand that family and relationships are the most important things in our life. Money is an enabler that allows that to happen.

On the other hand, success with money–specifically–can be defined, and once we reach that, we know that we’re allowing our other life goals to thrive to their fullest.

At least that’s how I look at it…

This is an excellent post. I especially like how you emphasize figuring out where you want to end up in constructing a personal mission statement. Part of determining what your life goals are is defining what wealth and success mean to you. This is going to be different for different people (and it may be in financial terms or in non-financial terms), but it’s important to define what it is for you so you know what you’re striving for.

A lot of research indicates that opposites really do attract, especially when it comes to money philosophies. So one of the things I’m very interested in is how to merge two seemingly incompatible money personalities together to create a unified financial strategy. It’s something I’ve explored in the past and will continue to do so in the future…

I’m happy that you think this post will help your son and future daughter-in-law.

I love this piece! I am sending a copy of this article to my oldest son and his fiance. I thinks this could help them meld together their different money styles. Thanks!

Thanks so much, Jackie.

The best books I read are those that I can read again and again when I need the extra kick to get something going. In the same way, I want a mission that gets me going every morning. If I don’t believe in it, it’s not going to do anything for me.

P.S. Love your latest post title.

Love the ultimate goal of inspiring your soul to act. I have a “definite major purpose” that I go over daily that helps me in that, along with a few mantras, but I will be doing this exercise as well.

Thanks so much! I completely agree, of course–having a mission statement makes everything else fall into place.
