Finding balance beyond time, money, and energy.
We’re all searching for ways to get the most out of life. Have you ever considered what it all comes down to? The currencies of life — time, money, and energy — are often considered the three elements necessary for a life of freedom and success.
These life currencies, although crucial for life and sustainability, are not the answer to a full and abundant life.
Do you want to know the true currencies of a balanced life? At Meru Mentor, your trusted life mentor and budgeting coach, we can explain.
Three Currencies of Life: Feelings, Finances, and Faith
Feelings, finances, and faith all play an important role in your life. They intertwine and overlap in ways we often don’t even realize. Discovering how to balance these areas will lead us to a transformed life — a life we enjoy living and desire to share with others.
Feelings
When life’s experiences lead us to feel the best and the worst of emotions, we’re left wondering if there’s a healthy balance. Our emotions are a reflection of past and present experiences. Learning to manage our emotions will allow us to balance all of life.
Our “emotional debt” or accumulation of unresolved feelings causes us to be unhappy with life so we miss previous times that we cannot gain back. In addition, we blow money we don’t have by going on shopping sprees, hoping it will make us feel better. But in reality, it only puts us further in the hole. This financial strain can also affect our relationships as our spouse, family, or friends must bear the weight of poor financial decisions.
Finances
One of the original three currencies of life is money. It’s true that money does not bring full happiness in life, but everyone needs money. It allows us to be independent so we can make decisions freely based on our true desires. Money keeps us safe and secure to enjoy a balanced life.
However, we also know that financial debt does not allow for a balanced, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle. We all must learn how to handle our finances well, creating healthy boundaries that will ultimately give us the financial freedom and independence we deserve!

Faith
Finally, faith in a being higher than ourselves will give us a sense of purpose. While faith is a very personal experience, a firm relationship with God gives us direction when dealing with stress and challenges in life. True peace and hope come from unwavering faith. Faith allows us to live spiritually debt-free, giving us space to have healthy relationships with our family, friends, and coworkers too.
Are you beginning to see the connection these three aspects of life have? There is beauty to be found when our three life pillars — feelings, finances, and faith — are balanced and working together well.
