Financial freedom means the ability to be and do what you want and to buy the things you need without worrying about the cost.
Brian Tracy, Author, International Bestseller of “21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” and “Million Dollar Habits”
One of the smartest things that you can do for the rest of your life is to admire, respect, and look up to people who have achieved financial success. This is because you always move in the direction of that which you most admire and respect.
The more you admire and respect financial success the more likely you are to do the same things that financially successful people do.
In general, you should have four financial goals: 1st, earn as much as you can; 2nd, spend as little as you can; 3rd, save and invest as much as possible; and 4th, protect yourself against unexpected reversals or lawsuits.
The first knowledge that you will require to achieve financial independence is the knowledge of exactly how much you are earning today, how much you are spending each month and how much you are worth right now.
