When I get back after a meeting, the money I gave my family is the first thing on my mind.
We discussed this month’s business expenses in the meeting, and when I got back to my desk, I found myself counting the money I’d given my family too.
Scenes
- After a meeting, the money I gave my family comes to mind first. — We set this month’s business budget in the meeting, but when I got back, I found myself counting the money I’d given my family too.
- The money I gave my family wasn’t recorded in the ledger. — My family said they were in a bind, so I gave them money from the business account, but I didn’t record it separately in the business ledger.
- Business and family money blur into one figure. — When business funds and money for family pass through the same account, the balance alone doesn’t show how much the business can use.
- Write down separately where the money went. — Tonight, write on paper what to keep for the business and what you gave your family. Once it’s down, you may see which numbers to look at again.
- Hold care for family and business priorities in view. — If separating the money still leaves you unsure, we can look together at how to decide what to give your family and what to keep for the business.
