I can make you rich , But You don't want it?

        I understand the importance of financial freedom and the impact it can have on one's life. It's not just about being able to afford the things we want, but also the ability to grow as a person and spend quality time with our loved ones. Why wait until retirement to see the world or travel with a loved one? Why settle for a job that doesn't align with our passions?

I often hear friends say "I really want to do this but can't afford it anytime soon" or "I only make $15 an hour I can't afford to follow my dreams" but I will hear the same person talk about going out to the bar or buying a new car and making payments for the next 5 years. It's a paradox that baffles me. Why do we ignore the future and not plan ahead for it? It's like neglecting to fix a flat tire, only to end up stranded on the side of the road.

It's important to remember that success is not just about money, but also about making smart choices and planning for the future. Are you willing to put up with your job for a little longer in order to achieve the lifestyle you want? Are you willing to make sacrifices like cutting back on cable or switching to a cheaper brand of soda? These small changes can add up and make a big difference in the long run.

In my own life, I've made changes like selling my gas-guzzling SUV and upgrading to a more cost-effective hybrid car. The result was a significant savings on fuel costs and a "pay raise" of approximately $3800 per year. It's true that a penny saved is a penny earned and by practicing this in all aspects of my life, I've been able to achieve financial freedom and pursue my passions.

Furthermore, some people may be addicted to being poor and living the same lifestyle even after they lose a job. They may smoke, buy beer, and drive on bald tires. It's important to understand the importance of planning ahead, it's like insurance, fix it while you have the extra money instead of buying the beer, cigarettes, Starbucks etc. This can be translated to all areas of your life, what can you do today that will secure your future or create your personal insurance buffer zone that if something arises you had planned ahead so it is not catastrophic.

In conclusion, it's important to understand that success is not just about money, but also about making smart choices and planning for the future. It's not always easy, but the rewards are well worth the effort. So, ask yourself, how bad do you want success and are you willing to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve it? Remember, a penny saved is a penny earned, and by putting this into practice everyday in all aspects of your life, you can achieve financial freedom and pursue your passions

                  

             ."It is essential to have a plan in life, as life is short and precious. Rather than simply getting by each day, strive to make the most of the limited time we have on this earth. Take control of your life, like a rider holding the reins, and make sure each day is used to its fullest potential. Remember, we are only given a finite number of Christmases, Thanksgivings, and other special occasions in our lifetime. Don't waste a single one."
