Building Your Wealth

The problem most people have when it comes to saving — aside from how boring the whole idea sounds — is having too many big goals. Everybody wants everything.   You may want a new car, but you need to pay off your student loans and save for a down payment on a house too, and then there’s the emergency fund and the 401(k).... It’s tempting to just blow it all on tickets to Hawaii.  But getting a grip on what your goals are and how to meet them is actually liberating. Instead of worrying about how you can possibly save enough, you come up with a plan to get what you want and need the most and maybe one goal at a time.

Focusing on your spending and decision making can give you control over your life.   The decision to live within your means is a game changer.  You can not control the decisions of CEOs or the Federal Reserve.  Focusing on what you can control can give you the following:

1. Retire with a sizable nest egg
2. Visit foreign countries
3. Own all your possessions including home and cars
