49 unchanging for financial advice?

[tidalwave]

I asked for some financial advice... I'm going through my savings at an alarming rate, even though I try to be measured about it.

49 - Revolution... but no changing lines. Just upturn everything? A radical transformation.. hmm, not troubling.

I then asked, if I'm to undertake a revolution, for what purpose is it? To become what with my money?

24.2.3 > 11

Returning again and again, then peace. Does this mean adding to my bank account?

Still confused, I took one more stab at it.. and asked what attitude must I adopt when it comes to my finances?

43 - Resoluteness / Deciding... Be less indulgent, I'm guessing. Make plans and stick to them. Budgeting! Such a dreadful word.. but I think that's what it evokes?

Budgeting!

Sounds like a good idea. And it is consitent with 49 -

In the same way, the noble one calculates the heavenly signs and clarifies the seasons.'

How could it be fun?

It's annoying that there isn't more specific advice, or perhaps I'm just missing it. Budgeting and saving money is kind of a no brainer, I guess, but I had hoped the I Ching would hint at things I'm doing wrong, areas that I'm overdoing it, or changing an attitude. Something more concrete.

49 is also about setting the calendar in order.
Perhaps put your savings in a different kind of account.
E.g. a closed/timed account, from which you can't draw any money until a specific date.

Diamanda's idea sounds good.

Also, what about employement? Is Yi suggesting a "radical change" in your thoughts about employment?
What would that be?

Jumpingmouse, I'm going to "chew" on that for a while... Thanks for planting a seed.
