ANECDOTE

From Empty Tank To Financial Turnaround

  • Andrew started his career making $30,000 a year and lived paycheck to paycheck until a gas pump moment triggered change.
  • He saved over $100,000 in two years and became a millionaire within a decade through income growth and real estate.
ADVICE

Set A Clear Financial North Star

  • Define a financial independence number by estimating annual retirement spending and multiplying by 25 to apply the 4% rule.
  • Use that 'North Star' to reverse-engineer savings and cashflow goals toward financial freedom.
ADVICE

Use 12-Week Goals And Automation

  • Break big financial goals into 12-week segments and review progress weekly to maintain accountability.
  • Automate contributions and actions so the plan runs without constant manual effort.
