This weekend I have been reading the book "Money is Love". The author is taking us along the process of creating $3.6 million dollars. I had the idea to not just FEEL like I already have that money but to see it physically.
So I decided to create a physical representation of that amount of money. What I did was find images of money. I ended up printing an image of a 100 dollar bill. Then I figured out how to make it look like stacks of $100 bills.
I used phone books and magazines and also printed those bands that go around stacks of 100 bill. Mainly I just taped the pages of $100 bills (I printed 6 bills to a legal sized page) to the top of a stack of magazines - with the bands that said $10,000. I guesstimated how tall a stack of 10 (equalling $100,000) would be.
I did make one single stack of "$10,000" by cutting up a catalog. I wanted at least one stack I could riffle through like it was really stack of 100 $100 bills.
Below is a picture of my big box of money. I have to say it feels GREAT to look at it. It really helps me FEEL like I have that much money.
Also I had some left over sheets of $100s so I am putting those in my wallet - of course, not to spend, but to feel like I could if I wanted.
I've also included the file so you can print those $100s on legal sized paper. It's a word doc.
