It’s about what you DO with each check that matters. As long as you’re working for your money, you’re always at risk of losing it when the market changes. You need to invest & save wisely, and pick business strategies that help your money work for you, so that your riches can grow into true, life-changing wealth! Know your finances inside and out. Come to terms with the actual numbers. Stop guessing. Become debt free. No consumer debt, no IRS debt, only mortgages and maybe a car lease or two.
