Practical exercise
Write your three year financial map
This is the capstone of the financial literacy track. Today you will combine every artefact from the last nine practicals into one document: a 36 month financial map for yourself, month by month, beginning this month. By the end you will know which month you open which account, which month you file which return, which month your safety net hits target, and which month your first share crosses break even. The map is a living document. Open it on the first of every month for the rest of the year.
Now try it
Write your three year financial map
Stretch
Share your three year map (with sensitive numbers blurred) with one Polymath buddy and one elder family member. The buddy will hold you accountable for the monthly review. The elder will spot the cultural blind spots you cannot see yet. Both witnesses are gifts to your future self.
Goes into your portfolio
A screenshot of the spreadsheet showing all 36 months filled in for at least the income, expense, and bucket rows, plus the rules sheet with three signed rules, plus a one paragraph reflection comparing your map to the azaad life paper from practical one.
