Before I spend my financial resources, I ask whether or not the expense is important, and whether it reflects my core values. Money is automatically deposited into the retirement and emergency fund accounts, as well as to my son’s 529. The mortgage and other bills (utilities, insurance, etc.) must be paid.

Managing Your Resources. As a result of our earlier mistakes, we learned that we still need to direct our financial resources with a little thought and careful consideration.

However, I wasn’t maximizing my resources. I opened a retirement account during that period, but it involved a managed fund with a 2% annual fee.

It’s one thing to have a couple thousand dollars in an emergency fund. Likewise, you can’t take advantage of an IPO or get in on a promising startup if you don’t have the resources to make it happen. When you think about money as a tool, an as a means to an end, it doesn’t make sense to let it sit idle.
