Today I had the pleasure to work on the LL1. I was pleased to see what amount of money my family actually stands for. We still are far away from real riches, but not nearly where we were for a little more than 3 years.
We were in debt then and now have a little more than € 60.000 to count for.

In this last 3 years our appartment was flouded (luckely we rent, so we didn´t have to pay for the renovation of the house), which left us with about 5% - 10% of our belongings (in money terms, emotional things like old photo´s, my (cooking)book collection, our music collection all gone...).
Therefore the questions about how you would feel if.. where easy for me to answer. I would feel a bit sad, but very certain that we will land on our feet again.
I also "lost" the job I had here which I loved so very much, but due to the fact that my chef (who has become a close friend) and I would fight all the time, it was better for me to leave. Because I am working on myself for some years now, I learned that everything happens for a reason and that there is always coming something better afterwards, so I am not afraid or really worried when "bad" things happen.

What to do with a million €uro´s (is easier for me to calculate with) was a bit more challenging question, but I could answer that one within 10 minutes also.
Would actually love to know what everyone else will do with that, maybe I should open a discussion on that subject.

Feeling rich isn´t difficult for me since I live in my dream country with my family, we are all in good health and can do a lot of things that we like.

My definition of "what is rich?":
Rich is living the life you want and have enough money to do all the things you like and buy all the things you want.


I hope this is the kind of thing I am supposed to post here and I hope it will give you some insight in my thinking and being.
And with a bit of luck I can help others on their way with my personal LL story.

Doing LL1 really showed me how far I've come in the last few years. I fell into the credit card trap, but now I am almost debt free! That alone makes me feel rich.

Excellent, Susan. It's great to acknowledge yourself for how far you've come. (And wherever you are in this moment is just right.)

And that feeling of APPRECIATING and already feeling rich will take you where you want to go. Do whatever you can to maintain and EXPAND on it!

Hi Petra,

One of the first a-HA moments for me was that I was already rich! But up till then I thought that I was poor!

And each time that I had redone LL1 I find that I am richer than the last time that I had done it!
