How To Start Dating Your Dollars.

Ashlee Cox • October 31, 2025

Dahlings, can we have a moment?


You've made a breakthrough. 


You've stopped treating your bank account like a toxic ex who only calls at 2 AM. 


You realize money isn't the villain; it just felt like a fickle, commitment-phobic lover you needed to renegotiate your relationship with.


An empowering mindset is fabulous, but it still needs a strong, supportive foundation to truly slay the day and keep you sane. 


And that foundation, darlings, is knowing exactly where your cash is RSVP'ing every month.


The next step in navigating your money relationship is simple, non-negotiable, and surprisingly romantic: We are dating our dollars.


The Date Night Strategy: Ultimate Financial Self-Love.


Think about it: just as you wouldn’t commit to a man after one soulful conversation, you’re not doing that with your money mindset either.


 The wooing part of the relationship requires effort: dates are scheduled, questions are asked, and you observe their habits.


Your money deserves the same respect.


The unscripted way forward isn't just wishing for more; it's becoming intimately familiar with what you have and where it’s going. 


This is the ultimate act of self-love, and it only requires one dedicated Money Date Night a week.


We start with the glamorous part: Lighting a fancy candle, putting on chill R&B, and opening that spreadsheet (or budgeting app). 


Then comes the hard part: taking a good, hard look at every transaction from the last seven days. 


The $8 latte? The forgotten subscription? The emergency heels?


This may feel like watching a horror show, but I need you to be brave.


 This is not about judgment; it's a Power Meeting—you're the CEO conducting a much-needed background check on your own habits.


Don't Leave Your Money Date Mid-Sip!


You've done the hardest part: you've faced the numbers. But the real shift happens now.


You need to assign your dollars a purpose so your cash flows toward your empire, not just random spending that sabotages your peace.
