The Harsh Truth About Financial Freedom (And How to Start)
Step 1 is brutally simple. Most still avoid it.
Who doesn’t want to live off investment income and interest someday?
Imagine working only if—and when—you want to.
But here’s the thing:
If you want that life, you’ve got to start now.
Most people have no clue how.
They’re stuck. Spinning. Clueless.
So here’s how you begin:
Step 1: Create a Monthly Budget.
Not yearly. Not whenever-you-feel-like-it.
Monthly.
Got a partner?
Do it together.
Partner won’t do it?
Change the locks. (Okay, maybe not literally... maybe.)
This is harsh reality time.
Money won’t manage itself—and your future won’t build itself either.
Set your budget every single month.
Adjust as needed, but don’t skip it.
Use an app like EveryDollar.
The free version is enough to get going.
Your first goal of this budget (besides seeing the 50 streaming services you pay for):
Save $1,000 for a mini emergency fund.
That’s it.
That’s the foundation.
That’s Step 1.
We’ll talk about Step 2 soon.
But for now—
lock in that budget.
👉🏼👉🏼 💸 Do you work hard as hell to simply pay the bills? And have little to show for it except being able to pay rent/mortgage, buy overpriced gas and food, with nothing left? Not even the ability to sit down for a movie and some popcorn without going into debt.
You are absolutely not alone!
