You will notice that we do things a little differently around here.
A lot of personal finance blogs out there will advise you to follow the “Get Rich Slow” philosophy. You know the ones: give up that $4.00 latte, never eat out, sell your car, only eat rice and beans, and reuse your paper towels. If that’s what you’re looking for, then you’re in the wrong place.
That advice describes the extreme frugality movement going on in the blogosphere, where many bloggers are preaching “live like a college student” in order to reach financial freedom and retire early. Those bloggers are expense-focused and enjoy the simple life. Fine for them, but that is not what you’re going to get here. I already lived like a college student, and I’m done with that. Instead, I am going to teach you how to “Get Rich Fast.“
Notice I didn’t say “Get Rich Quick.” It’s a subtle change in words, but there is a big difference. I truly believe that anyone can reach financial freedom, if you’re willing to do things differently than the masses. However, I am most definitely NOT preaching any “get rich quick” schemes. My method is based on strategy, intelligent moves, and extreme hustle. Plus, anything I endorse is something I am also already doing myself, with my own money.
Does that appeal to you? Before we continue, be sure to sign up for my email list below so I can lay it all out to you in depth and you never miss a new post.
P.S. If you join now you also get to download the Financial Independence Toolkit to track your own wealth building efforts!
Depending on what your financial goals are, maybe you should listen to me and maybe you shouldn’t. Regardless, I am not giving out advice anyway. All I do on this blog is share my own experience, and my real life examples. By doing so, my hope is to inspire and motivate you to create abundance in your own life, whatever that may mean to you. But if you want to see if what I have been doing is working, take a look at the financial summary below as of December 31st, 2022. Notice that I have been able to grow my family’s net worth from $42,424 to $10,245,337 (a gain of 24,150%).
Does that make you want to listen to me? I hope so! My money is truly where my mouth blog is. Check it out:
Yes, you need to track all of your financial accounts. You need to track your income. You need to track your spending. You need to track your assets. You need to track your liabilities. You need to track your investments. Track, Track, Track! It sounds laborious, I know. But it’s the only way.
I don’t sell anything on my site, but sometimes I steer you to products I myself use that I have found to be strategic and beneficial. Empoweris one such tool. I use it every day. It’s automated, agile and advanced technologically. Plus, it’s free to use. If you sign up through this link: Empower, it’s FREE to you and I get a little payday. Thanks!
Below is a screenshot from my personal account, where I have aggregated over 50 different financial accounts (screenshot was taken 5/11/2023).
Empower allows you to aggregate your own entire financial life into one account. All you need to do to see all your accounts in one place is log in once through Empower and voila! But it doesn’t stop there. They even automatically classify all your income and expenses for you. Isn’t that freaking AWESOME?
Sign up for a FREE account with Empower using my links in this post and you can start tracking your own growing net worth, drilling down into expenses, income and cash flow, too.
Until next time! I’m glad you’re along for the journey to Financial Freedom!
Cheers,
