There are as many people trying to sell you advice on how to achieve financial freedom as there are people who still need it. Of all the gurus offering their advice, there seems to be some key elements that they can all agree upon. We are going to explore those elements here to give you an understanding of how to begin your personal journey to financial freedom.
To begin with, let us define the concepts that define what it means to be financially “free”. Of course it means to have the money that you need. It should also entail not having to constantly work and worry in order to get the money. That means that you want to develop a source of passive income, income that continually and perpetually regenerates with minimal involvement or effort from you. You need to have your time free to enjoy the fruit, not always be out planting the trees. Right?
You’re going to need investment capital. That means you’re going to have to earn it, win it, steal it, or inherit it. After that, you need to save it to invest it. So let’s say like most of us, you have a job. You work, but do you save? To save, you’re going to need a budget. To develop a budget, you need to examine your spending habits. In the examination of your spending habits, you’re going to need to be willing to accept where it is that you waste money.
So let’s now say that you are aware of your income, what you have to spend to accommodate your life, what you spend unnecessarily, and that you have decided that you desire to save that investment capital. We have now gotten to the point where most people fail – miserably. It’s called will power. You have to exercise the will power to cease your money wasting. You will have to save - S*A*V*E!
