Wealth Today

In the process of creating our financially free future, it’s important to have others to look up to. Humans naturally model others unconsciously. As responsible managers of our assets, we have the unique ability to be able to choose a mentor, or any number of them. It’s a good idea to “take stock” of who we currently know and consider their financial status. Perhaps there’s a friend that is always complaining about being broke. Sure his credit’s perfect, but he has no plan to increase his income in the short term. Or rather, a close family member has been quickly stockpiling cash into index funds and mutual funds, but they’re constantly exhausted and inaccessible because they spend all of their time working. Envy a friend who’s tripled his own income and cut his working hours by twenty percent so that he’s able to spend more time with his family? Maybe someone else we know continues to make poor financial decisions and finds themself deeper and deeper in a cash hole. If the people around us are not where they want to be financially, we can see this as an opportunity to learn from their situation and discover better role-models to sculpt our own results. Those who are successful we can instantly add to our financial emergency contact list. If we don’t know anyone who is achieving their goals, we can seek winners. We also have the ability to enlist the aid of financial advisors. There are wonderful people who receive compensation for their skilled advice, and can be a great benefit in our cash travels. If you can’t think of 5 people who you’d like to follow in their financial footsteps, it’s time to call and arrange an appointment with one. Before making any dinero decisions, a wise person will consult at least 3 favorable sources for any suggestions or advice they could offer toward the pending deal.
