Insight on Today's Quote
That quote is a gut-check in the best way. “Good money” isn’t the biggest number in your bank app… it’s the kind that buys you breathing room. It’s the kind that lets you say “no” without panic, say “yes” without guilt, and sleep without doing mental math at 2 AM.
Living life on your terms doesn’t mean spending freely. It means spending intentionally. When your money has a clear job—bills, savings, giving, joy—you stop feeling like you’re constantly reacting… and start feeling steady and in control.
Step Up To The Challenge
Write down ONE “term” you want in your life (pick one): peace, freedom, family time, health, travel, generosity, or security.
Do ONE action today that supports it:
Transfer a small amount to savings (even ₱100 counts).
Cancel one unused subscription.
Plan your next 3 purchases before buying anything.
Do a “no-spend” day (only essentials).
Tonight, ask yourself: “Did my spending today match my term?”
If you want, tell me your “term,” and I’ll give you a simple money rule you can use all week.
