MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR CASH

YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY

Ask yourself:

What really matters to you?
If you suddenly acquired all the money you needed,
what would you do with your life?
If you only had 5 or 10 years to live, how would your priorities shift?
If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you regret?
