Learn to eliminate the unhealthy obstacles to having money and find the way to using money as a tool to get on with the life you want to live.
Are you comfortable with the amount of money you have?
Is it enough?
Are you spending as much time with family and friends as you would like?
Do you come home from your job feeling fulfilled? Do you have time to participate in things you believe are worthwhile?
If you were laid off from your job, would you see it as a tragedy or an opportunity? Do you have enough savings to support you through six months of normal living expenses?
When you think about your finances, do you feel peaceful and at ease? If you were to die in the next few years, would you be comfortable with your legacy or contribution to your family, your community, the world?
Are all the aspects of your life – your job, your possessions, your relationships, your values – integrated?
If you answered, ‘no’ to even one of these questions, read on…..
Many books and “step programmes” on managing your money are available today. What most of these books have in common is that they assume your financial life functions separately from the rest of your life. The Financial Integrity Programme is different. It is a ‘whole systems’ approach to your life. And it will take you back to basics — the basics of making your spending (and hopefully your saving and investing) of money into a clear mirror of your life values and purpose.
Is this the programme that you need?
The purpose of the Financial Integrity Programme is not about selling you anything for its own profit– a product, a guru, a lifestyle. You don’t need any of those to achieve your goals. But you don’t need to go it alone, either. By using this proven, comprehensive programme of nine steps based on classic financial principles, you can get where you want to go faster than making them up yourself.
How healthy is your relationship with money?
So many people find money – the lack of it, the worry about it, the time spent making it, or the guilt associated with having it – to be an obstacle to happiness. Money often becomes the cause (or excuse) for people not living their dreams or exploring what their life could really mean. This programme is about helping you eliminate those obstacles and use money as a tool to get on with the life you want to live. It will coach you in how to act with intelligence, integrity and independence in relation to money and the economic pressures we all face.
Having “financial integrity” means understanding the true impact of your economic interactions, and having that impact reflect your true intentions. The purpose of engaging in the exercises and practices outlined in the FI Program is merely — and profoundly — for you to transform your relationship with money. That relationship encompasses more than just your earning, spending, debts and savings; it also includes the time these functions take in your life. A healthy, integrated relationship with money is innately tied to the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that you can get from your engagement with your family, your community and the planet.
What Can You Expect From This Programme?
The late Joe Dominguez, former Wall Street analyst and co-author of the bestseller Your Money or Your Life, spent a decade developing this programme for himself. Nearly 40 years later, people’s lives are still being enriched by the Financial Integrity Programme he helped create. The programme enables you to:
- Get out of debt
- Spend less
- Develop savings
- Learn to base your transactions (the getting, spending, investing and giving of your resources) on your own personal principles
- Achieve a degree of financial independence that allows you to spend your time doing what is fulfilling for you
As the following quotes from Your Money Or Your Life point out….
“When you are financially independent, the way money functions in your life is determined by you, not by your circumstances. In this way money isn’t something that happens to you, it’s something you include in your life in a purposeful way…Financial Independence is being free of the fog, fear, and fanaticism so many of us feel about money.”
“If this sounds like peace of mind, it is. Financial bliss. And if this sounds as unattainable as being rich, it isn’t.”
“Financial Independence has nothing to do with rich. Financial Independence is the experience of having enough — and then some…The old notion of Financial Independence as being rich forever is not achievable. Enough is. Enough for you may be different from enough for your neighbour — but it will be a figure that is real for you and within your reach.”
