Assignment 1: Align Your Values with Your Finances
After watching the lesson videos for this week, take a blank piece of paper and title it “Value Alignment.”
On the left hand side, title the column What do I value? and list out your values. You will likely start high level (Family, religion, career, etc.) so continue until you dive deeper.
On the right hand side of the page, title the column What do I spend my money on? and list out your common expenses. Day in, day out; week in, week out. Where is your financial attention directed?
Draw a line linking your expenses to your values. Are there expenses that partially align? Where is the total mis-alignment? Did your spend analysis uncover values you missed?
Misalignment signals opportunity to free cash flow.
Proof pic: Upload a photo of your “Value Alignment” worksheet (or a quick video flipping through the multiple pages) to your fire team channel.
Assignment 2: Expand the Wedge – Food
In this exercise we will go deeper into your food spend.
On a fresh sheet of paper, write the title “Expand the Wedge – Food” and write out the total food expense from the “Taking Stock” exercise. Expand out the total and itemize the spend.
Identify opportunities to be more intentional in your spend. Using simple calculations, assign a value to any behavioral changes, efficiencies or reductions that you can implement this week.
*Tip – Most banking software will analyze spend on a periodic basis and you can identify the vendors in the description.

Assignment 3: Create your Weekly Attack Plan (5 points)
Take a blank sheet and title it “Weekly Attack Plan.”
Draft three (3) Spend Offenses. Leverage the efficiencies, eliminations and behavioral changes identified in the Value Alignment and Expanding the Wedge exercises, or include any other opportunities to expand your wedge.
Spend Offensive Examples:
- Read the menu before eating out and make a plan
- Cancel an unused membership
- Choose an alternate family outing like a hike or backyard bonfire over going out
Draft three (3) Positive Influxes, hustles, initiatives and easy wins to generate cash inflow.
Positive Influx Examples:
- Get out of your comfort zone and upsell a client
- Ask for a raise
- Expand your resume with a certification
Sum all initiatives to calculate your Estimated Free Cash Flow (FCF) potential.

Assignment 4: DAILY Spend Offenses OR Positive Influxes (4 points per day for a max total of 16 points)
For 4 days this week, set your timer for 20 minutes and focus on one (1) Spend Offensive or one (1) Positive Influx. You are not measured by effectiveness, you are simply devoting time and intentionally making bold moves with your money.
Proof pic: Upload a picture of your daily action each day to your fire team channel.
Assignment 5: Review your week and Drive the Wedge (5 points)
At the end of the week, spend some time going back to think about your week. What worked? What did not? Note your successes and ensure you provide a dollar value.
At the bottom of the sheet, input your Weekly Wedge, your Estimated FCF and Actual Wedge.
Drive the Wedge: Chose an obligation from your Obligation Hit-List and transfer the value of the actual wedge created to the principal balance. This is the single most important step in the entire program.
