Many people are quitting their jobs and are silently putting less effort into their tasks. These movements sound great on paper, but what lies underneath the surface?
How does it look when you are 40 years old and don't have a career? Will you have the resources to provide for your family?
The timeframe between the age of 24-35 is vital to building your status in the workforce. The harder you work here, the less stressful
...Once you turn 60, you can access your taxable 401K and Roth IRA. But what the heck are you going to do with this large sum of money?
Most people have analysis paralysis and run to a financial advisor. However, you are not an idiot.
You saved the money; therefore, you can learn how to grow the money. The absolutely worse thing you can do is take the money out and buy a boat or car.
Anything short of that
...We all love seeing beautiful weddings on tv. The lights, flowers, and gowns all look so fantastic that many of us dream of having our own wedding.
However, there can be a massive cost to having a top-tier wedding. Therefore we must remember the true purpose of a wedding and marriage; to be with the one you love.
Starting your marriage on the right financial path can be challenging if you overspend on a wedding. Quickly
...Keeping your affairs tight is tough in your 20s. You will start from the bottom of a company, and begin your search for a spouse.

...Most Americans' main source of wealth is their primary residence. However, we all live on income, not net worth.

...Do you want to work for 35 years to receive $3,000/month in social security benefits? That sounds like a bad deal to me.
I would rather create a $3,000/month paycheck by age 45 and grow it into a $20,000/month paycheck by the time I turn 66.
But where do you start? I choose income investing as my investing style of choice. It's not for everyone because it requires knowledge, research, and faith in the system.
...The school system doesn't create well-educated children. I'm not here to blame anyone because it's challenging to educate people in mass.
This opens the possibility for educators to build their own tutoring businesses. But we are not aiming to exchange time for money.

...Welcome to the most challenging timeframe of your life. You will have lots of things coming at you at once.
