Key Ideas

  • Paying yourself first is the most important and first step you can take to lead to financial freedom.

  • Investing with the right people in the right way is key.

  • Paying off debt is less about the method you choose and more about facing the problem and just doing it.

  • Once you have financial knowledge, turn around and share it. There is enough for everyone!


Bonus Tip

Here is a bonus tip I didn't get to in the episode.

  • The Richest Man in Babylon is a great book for the basic money principles, but the other half of money is learning how to handle your emotions. Let emotions drive your finances will lead to disaster almost every time. Some great books to look into include The Psychology of Money and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.
