The Monthly Family Meeting

2023-11-17 by Uncle Todd 28 Comments

One of the best ways to make sure a process works well is to set it up so you don’t have to think about it. There were certain things that I felt we needed to do at regular intervals. These varied by the specific tasks. For instance, I don’t need to review my will every month, But I do need to update and review my budget, Balance sheet and income statements every month. 

Below is what my schedule looks like.  The beauty of this is that I don’t have to think about what I need to do.  I set up the schedule at the beginning of the year, and then just carry out what the plan calls for when it calls for it.

This is my schedule.  It may change slightly in the future.  Of course, your schedule may also vary depending on what you find most important.  The key point is to make sure that the schedule 

  • Covers topics of importance
  • Happens consistently /regularly in order to build habits
  • Is planned to cover topics as the become timely (ex. Taxes Q1)
  • Exists! Nike’s tagline was so effective because it almost universally applies, for most people, the key to success is to stop thinking about stuff, and “just do it!”.

I’m not going to say we religiously hold this meeting. Depending on what’s going in our lives, we may or may not hold our meetings regularly. Often, we get into a rhythm, of wither holding the meetings regularly, or allowing them to slide. But I highly recommend holding these meetings pretty regularly. You will see a difference? Do you hold a regular meeting to discuss family finances and other important topics? What has been your experience? What’s the best thing you’ve gotten from it? The worst? How often do you hold the meeting? Love to hear from you all.

    I was tired of platforms that make deposits easy but withdrawals a nightmare, but this one changed my mind. Transparent terms, huge game library, and customer service is top notch. Definitely recommend checking it out. globalbetcasino
