Two Comma Life
At PrairieView Wealth & Tax Advisors, we believe wealth is about more than just numbers; it’s about the freedom, experiences, and opportunities that allow you to live your best life. We’re here to help you define and achieve your version of the #TwoCommaLife—a life of abundance, purpose, and fulfillment.
What is the Two Comma Life?
Instead of feeling restricted by a scarcity mentality – where fear and financial limitations dictate your choices – the Two Comma Life encourages and fosters an abundance mentality.
When you believe you have the resources (both financial and personal) to create a fulfilling life, it can open a multitude of doors to pursue your passions, contribute meaningfully to your community, or simply enjoy the freedom to travel the world.
A big piece of the Two Comma Lifestyle is opening yourself up to new opportunities and learning experiences, which can feel overwhelming if you’ve grown comfortable with how things are. In that case, I encourage you to think of it like a goldfish in a tank. The smaller the bowl, the less area the fish has to grow and the narrower the perspective can seem. Give the fish a bigger tank and it has more room to thrive.
But just like goldfish don’t always need a pristine environment to thrive, you don’t need a linear line of success. Remember that each step you take out of your comfort zone expands your abilities and widens your perspective, transforming what seemed like overwhelming aspirations into achievable milestones.
Finding Abundance From Within: An Exercise in Self-Awareness
The first step in this journey is introspection. I invite you to take a moment (or a pen and piece of paper) and think carefully about the following questions:
- What does abundance mean to you?
- Where does your energy and attention naturally flow when you feel most at peace?
- What do you find yourself talking about regularly?
- Where are you investing your time and money in your daily life?
Many of your answers can likely be found in your habits and rituals, and they probably look different than your neighbors’. Of course, if you’re struggling to find the answers, your schedule and expenses might be misaligned with your values.
For example, that daily coffee shop run might be routine at this point, but is it still bringing you joy like it used to, or could those funds be better utilized elsewhere? We’re not saying you have to cut the caffeine if it truly puts some pep in your step, but we are asking, “Are your regular habits aligned with your long-term goals?”
The goal of this exercise is to feel out whether your daily decisions are focusing your time and money in a positive way. This type of financial self-awareness ensures your present choices are paving the path toward your desired retirement vision – a.k.a, the Two Comma Life of abundance.
How to Think Like the Financially Free: What is the Psychology Behind the Two Comma Life?
Fun fact: Millionaires are 70% more likely to report feeling a sense of purpose in their work than those with lower levels of wealth. This statistic underscores that financial freedom isn’t just about accumulating wealth – it’s about aligning your finances with your passions and values.
The secret here is that millionaires don’t just magically change their mindset when their bank accounts hit a certain number. Instead, they’ve used their mindset in order to achieve that milestone.
