Step 7 Preparation
- Take some time to reflect on your current reasons for engaging in this financial program. (They may not be the same as when you started).
- Plot your latest monthly income on your wall chart (if you haven’t already).
- Estimate the hours you may have left in your life:
____ years x 8766 hours per year = ____
- Estimate the hours you may have left “on the job” until you expect to “retire”.
(41,600 hours of work left until “retirement age” 20 years from now).
40 hours/week x 52 weeks/year x ____ years = _____ hours
- What is your evaluation of your current real hourly wage in relation to your income goals for that length of time?
OK, but could be better
Just the right amount
More than I need, I can “retire” earlier
- What is your evaluation of the current level of effort you’re putting into your job?
It’s a job—I just do what I have to do
I take as much as I can, give as little as I can
