Weekly Review of MoneyMasterClass: Lessons from Week 5
In the ongoing Money Master Class, participants are sharing their experiences of budget-friendly activities and small joyful moments known as 'glimmers'. These moments bring peace and happiness, often in the form of inexpensive or free activities such as attending financial literacy workshops, engaging in community classes, and enjoying simple pleasures like tea or coffee breaks.
The classes, seminars, and community events provide a platform for learning about budgeting, saving, and money management, helping to build confidence and peace of mind about finances. Participants also emphasise the importance of social connection during group learning, as it uplifts spirits and builds supportive networks, enhancing joy and personal growth.
Some specific budget-friendly activities and sources of joy mentioned by participants include joining no-cost financial education classes, participating in local seminars, and savouring simple, low-cost self-care moments like a cup of coffee during a workshop break.
Gail, the driving force behind the Money Master Class, has been encouraging participants to find ways to have fun, even when dealing with debt. She also suggested writing a list of small things that bring great pleasure, as a reminder to prioritise joy in daily life.
Newcomers to the Money Master Class can catch up with weekly recaps: Money Master Class Intro, Week One Recap, Week Two Recap, Week Three Recap, and Week Four Recap. Gail has also shared two uplifting tweets from this week, which can be found through their comments sections.
For those interested in contributing, readers are invited to add to the lists of their budget-friendly activities, glimmers, and small pleasures. Remember, even in the face of debt, it's important to take time for small, budget-friendly pleasures to avoid burnout.
