What I want – and what I can afford


You have wishes: big ones, small ones, spontaneous ones, long‑held ones.

Some cost money. Some cost courage.

This chapter helps you reflect: What do I want – and what suits me now?


🛠️  Practical tips for the moment you want something

 

1. Make a wish list – with three columns

  • What I want

  • What it costs

  • What I could do to get it

→ You may dream – and plan.


2. Make a small distinction

  • A wish for now – something for today

  • A wish for later – something for later

  • A lasting wish – something that stays

→ You don’t have to judge – just sort things out.


3. Make a small gesture – for your wish

  • Write it on a piece of paper.

  • Place it in your jar, your bag, or your book.


→ You may keep it – even if you don’t fulfill it yet.
