Creating a Financial Vision

Establishing a clear financial vision is crucial when aiming to become financially free. This involves picturing where one wants to be in the next few years, setting specific goals such as owning a home or eliminating debt. Writing down the reasons behind these goals can create a powerful motivation—often referred to as the 'why'—that keeps individuals committed even during tough times.
