Quotes to ponder:

"Think net instead of gross increasing your net income by lowering your taxes is no different than raising your gross income."

"Create budgets to save some and invest the rest. This by itself is a savings account with minimal risk that leads to much better returns."

"Scaling is your ability to add different types of investments to your portfolio based on the size of your wealth."
