Book 13/52 of My #52Books52Weeks Bucket List Challenge

This one’s special because it was written by my good friend Bruce Campbell.

We all know that having a strong WHY is crucial—especially when it comes to living a Bucket List Life. Your WHY is what drives you, excites you, and pushes you to chase the adventures, experiences, and goals that matter most.

But let’s be real: A big WHY without a solid HOW is just a dream.

And your HOW? That’s your time and your money. You need to manage both wisely if you want to tick off your Bucket List without unnecessary stress. That’s where Bruce’s book comes in.

Key Takeaways from Where’s My Cash Gone?

• Cash Flow is King – It’s not just about how much money you make, but how much you keep and manage effectively.

• Stop Wasting Money on Unnecessary Expenses – Most people are leaving money on the table without even realizing it.

• Track Every Dollar – If you don’t know where your money is going, you can’t control it. Awareness is the first step.

• Small Leaks Sink Big Ships – Little, mindless expenses add up fast. Plug the leaks before they drain your financial future.

• A Financially Strong You = More Freedom – When you’re on top of your money, you have more choices, freedom, and opportunities to live life on your terms.

How Where’s My Cash Gone? Relates to Living a Bucket List Life

1. Your Bucket List Needs Funding – If you want to travel, start a business, or take on a big challenge, you need financial clarity and control.

2. Time + Money = Ultimate Freedom – If you manage both wisely, you create more space to actually live your Bucket List.

3. Avoid Financial Stress – Money stress is one of the biggest killers of dreams. Get your finances in order so they empower, not limit you.

4. Be Intentional with Your Spending – Every dollar should have a purpose. Are you investing in your dreams or just letting money slip away?

5. Financial Control = More Options – The better you manage your money, the more flexibility you have to chase experiences, not just pay bills.

Reading Bruce’s book reinforced something I always say: A great life doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by design.

If you’re serious about living your Bucket List Life, don’t just focus on your WHY—get clear on your HOW.

And if you’re up for a challenge, start tracking your money for the next 30 days. You might be surprised at where it’s actually going!

Stay tuned for Book 14 of 52 as I continue this adventure of learning and growth!
