Now, you have $444 million in your bank account. No debt. Taxes are paid. You’re free to spend your days however you’d like.

What would you do?

That’s one of the prompts in my Ultimate Vision Board Workshop, and last week after a session, I got this feedback:

“Ugh, I got a lil teary during the Perfect Day exercise. The one thing I wanted had nothing to do with money. 😢 I wanted [my dog] healthy and youthful. Then before I full on started sobbing, I told myself I’d use those millions to find a way that science would make him live forever.”

This is EXACTLY the point! 🙌🏻 Money is a tool.

We want it so we can…

• Protect and care for the people (and pets) we love.
• Spend more time with them.
• Support causes that matter to us.
• Give your kids (or anyone who matters to you) a life full of wonder.
• Pursue our dreams that make life feel deeply fulfilling.
• Say yes to joy—whether it’s a last-minute Lady Gaga ticket or a nostalgic night with the Backstreet Boys.*

Despite what you may have been told (For example: “The love of money is the root of all evil.”), or what’s commonly shown in mainstream culture, wanting money isn’t bad or selfish.

When values-driven people have more resources—more time, more energy, more money—we can do more good in the world.

At the end of the day, it’s not about the money; it’s about what money makes possible: safety, security, freedom, growth, joy.

And as someone who teaches mental wellbeing, I’ll remind you: we’re not putting our happiness on hold until these things, people, or experiences arrive.

You can be grateful and still have big goals and dreams.

So, now it’s your turn, friend. How would you spend tomorrow, knowing you have $444M in the bank? This will help you connect to YOUR why.
