Week one into the Online Wealth Program. This week has been all about my money habits and beliefs and it has been really challenging. I don’t feel like I have made much progress yet, however I had made some major realisations which I am sure will help me on the way:
a. I have some pretty obscure beliefs about money
b. I have done a really bad job of managing my finances to date
c. I cannot procrastinate any longer on this

How I did it: I just sat down one Sunday and focused on completing my scarf. I added buttons and ribbons and some other stuff and it looks beautiful - then i went out wearing it and lots of people commented. it's beautiful!!! Read how I did it…
WOW – Dave Ramsey is amazing. It’s all relatively simple, yet how many of us get it wrong. I am starting to think that I don’t need the online wealth coach and could have just followed Dave Ramsey’s technique. I just received my $600 incentive cheque from the Australian government so only need another $400 to get my $1000 emergency fund money!
I have come up with the following things I can sell on ebay:
- whole heap of horse riding DVDs
- ditto for horseriding equipment
- sass and bide jeans that don’t fit me (and never will, I’ve had them for about 5 years now
I reckon I can get about $1200 all up for all of this!
Also, I have made a big decision which I knew was coming. Going to sell the car and buy a $4000 toyota corolla or similar. Almost $500 a month goes on car payments and I want to use this to snowball my debt.
WOW – hoping that I have the strength to stick with this
I actually knuckled down today and got a serious amount of work done and I feel amazing for it.
Very happy to report this progress.
