Denzel Rodriguez recommends waiting up to 90 days of prayer before acting on a windfall. His first practical step: move the money to a separate account at a different bank so you're not tempted to spend it while you think.
I think prayer is super important. This framework really is those first steps. It's like when the money hits your account, whether it comes in waves or all at once, whatever it is, but really just giving time, giving time to pray and process, you know, talk kind of like we're doing right now. So just processing what would happen in that situation. And that prayer and process, that might take someone 90 days before they do anything. Oh yeah. You know, and that's totally fine. Like, I literally— that literally happened to one of my clients. He's like, they got the windfall, the death benefit, and they kind of just sat with that money in a bank account. And I was like, the first thing we can do is just act like we don't got it. You know, just open up a— so as we're praying, it's like the very first thing you can do is get that money out of your normal bank account and when you log in and look at daily, get it out of that account. We don't need it there. So you can just open a new bank account at a different bank.
