As an adult, I struggled with debt head-on, especially after my divorce. As a single mother, raising my daughter alone, we lived paycheck to paycheck from my day jobs. Although I was able to make ends meet, I didn’t really understand how to manage the money. I never felt I had enough. Providing for my daughter’s wants along with her needs proved to be the beginning of a life-long savings strategy. I always tried to reward her for doing a good job at school, helping around the house and such. I couldn’t always get her what she wanted, but one of things she really liked was going to McDonald’s. On one particular day, she ordered a Big Mac, large fries and large soda. I had $5 and the bill was $4.95.
I couldn’t afford to get myself anything to eat after getting her what she wanted, so I lied and told her I wasn’t hungry. That story resurfaced years later when I was going through my wallet and I saw several $5 bills. They triggered the memory of the story of being at McDonald’s with my daughter and my only having $5 to spend. From that very moment I began putting away every $5 bill that came my way. It’s a reminder I always have money. It says I always have something to hold on to.
Why a $5 bill? A $5 bill is rare, in that they don’t come around that often. When you get one, treat it like a jewel. I have helped dozens of people redirect their financial flow and in so doing have changed the course of their lives.
