ADVICE

Buy What You Need Not What You Can Afford

  • Continue with your original downsizing plan and buy only what you need, not what you can now afford.
  • Save, invest, or give away the unexpected inheritance instead of using it to upgrade housing and create anxiety.
INSIGHT

Wealth Grows By Buying Needs, Not Wants

  • Wealth grows by buying only what you need and saving the rest; extra purchasing reduces security.
  • This principle holds regardless of income or sudden windfalls.
ADVICE
