Understanding your core values is the foundation of purposeful financial planning. This exercise will help you identify what matters most to you.
Here's how it works:
Review the values below and click on every value that feels important to who you are or who you want to become. Don't limit yourselfâselect as many as you'd like. You can also add your own values below!
Note: You'll need to select at least 10 values to continue to the next step.
Great choices! Now let's get more focused. From the values you selected, choose only 10 values that feel most essential to who you are. This is where the prioritizing begins.
This is the hard part: select only 5 core valuesâthe ones that are absolutely non-negotiable for you. These will guide your financial decisions and life planning.
Now put your 5 core values in order of importance. Use the arrows to reorder them, with your #1 most important value at the top. This is toughâtrust your instincts!
For each of your top 10 values, rate from 1 to 10 how well your current life, choices, and daily actions align with that value. Be honestâthis helps identify where you might want to focus.
Take a moment to reflect on your values and alignment scores. These questions are optional but can provide valuable insights for our conversation.
