This is a great article. There are so many nuggets which needed to be red again and again.
It is true: some people makes lots of money but maybe do not enjoy. Others are desperate to make more and more and they are just playing chasing! Others make little money and they are always worried. The bottom line: nobody, probably really enjoy what they have.
The key takeaway for me is: change my relationship with money and wealth in general. Deep dive into what is essential Financial security and how to protect that peaceful state of mind overtime!
This information is very important to me

Love to hear it!
This is the right message for most people.
And I want to add one thing that does not contradict it.
Security and freedom are not the same thing.
Security is the foundation.
Freedom is what you build on top of it.
The six steps here are correct and necessary.
Know where your money goes.
Build the emergency fund.
Kill the high-interest debt.
Automate the savings.
All of it right.
All of it the floor.
The ceiling is different.
The ceiling is the point where your assets generate more income than your expenses require.
That number is not as far away as most people think.
And it does not require six figures.
It requires the gap between what comes in and what goes out to be invested consistently in something that compounds.
$300 a month invested at market returns for 30 years is $1 million.
Not because of the $300.
Because of the 30 years.
The security Cervante describes gives you the emotional stability to start.
The compounding does the rest.
Security is not the destination.
It is the launchpad.
Build the foundation first.
Then build the rocket.
Really well said Dr. Scott Brown — thank you for the wise words.
Live below your means!
Or live your values.
Cool to have you here
