What if achieving financial independence starts with simply mastering the next step in front of you? Join us as we break down 10 key "dominoes" that build on each other, helping us move step by step…
You know, things that money would involve helping you be able to have or do or become.
Create a monthly budget from those categories, track your spending and carefully keep within it.
Use your budget to create a small surplus each month, either by increasing income or reducing your expenses.
And again, it's those three dominoes, the tracking, the budgeting and working toward a surplus where people get hung up, get discouraged and give up.
Use the surplus each month to build an emergency fund and then three to six months reserve funds.
Use your surplus now to pay off or pay down or pay off credit cards, student loans, and other debt.
Use your surplus and then what went to debt to begin investing in things like a 401k, IRAs, brokerage accounts, or wherever you choose to invest.
Nine, growth and giving using the power of compound interest or compound earning.
And then 10, and again, these last three or four, they do take a roadmap of time, you know, a few years, a decade or more, but item 10, domino 10, independence.
