About this lesson
If money sits in a pile, it dissolves into whatever they want next. Give every dollar a job: Enjoy, Build, Help. The jars are furniture. The point is a small person sitting with a pile of possibility and choosing on purpose.
What you’ll learn
- Every dollar needs a job, and they are the boss who hands the jobs out.
- Enjoy, Build, and Help are all honorable. Saving is not the righteous jar.
- A picture on the Build jar turns saving from an empty word into a mission.
- Help money lands better when it has a face and gets delivered in person.
