This Is the Most Realistic Way to Build Your Money Empire That Almost Nobody Talks About
To live well. To live without fear of tomorrow.
When I finished school, I had almost no money. I couldn’t afford a condo and in terms of equity I was behind due to my student debts.
The natural goal was to save. To save for security.
Saving to be able to sleep well at night. Saving to not have to worry.
So, a few years later, I am in a good financial situation. Not good enough to not have to work a single extra day, but good enough to really rationally not have to worry about money and even be able to take a year or more off.
Now, though, until a few months ago, I hadn’t really done the work that I usually recommend to others. To actually calculate one’s own finances. Set some explicit, quantifiable financial goals.
I made the same mistake. But then it doesn’t matter what path you take. It doesn’t matter whether you should move $8 or $10 to your cash reserve.
What matters is to have something rather than nothing.
I moved money from today to the future
What you actually do with savings is take money from today and move it into the future.
