When we started our financial journey...We didn’t just want to pay off debt. We wanted to watch our kids grow up. We wanted to be able to take care of our parents. We wanted to have the freedom to say “no” to anything that didn’t align with our values.12 years later, I couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come. If you want to learn more about our strategy...Follow me and DM me “PROMISE”(I’m showing families how to automate their entire financial life in 30 minutes a month) by @budgetdog

Most people live their life for tomorrow.They work five days a week so they can enjoy two. They stack cash for a year so they can vacation for a week. They spend 65 years in jobs they hate for bosses they don’t respect...And if everything goes RIGHT...All of that pain buys them a few years called “retirement.” When they’re getting forgetful.When their bodies are breaking down. THEN they can enjoy life. If it weren’t so common, we’d call it tragic...But instead, it’s the “American Dream” we’re all supposed to be rooting for. No thanks 🙄(Comment “SOUL” if you want to learn more about the strategy my wife and I used to escape 😉)When Erin and I saw what the corporate scam was doing to our health, life, and marriage...We chose a different path:We got on the same page with our goals.We built a modest (but flexible) budget.We chose the right investments for our needs. Most importantly...We automated EVERYTHING so we couldn’t screw up. It only took us 30 min/ mo to manage...But it gave us the confidence of knowing exactly when we’d hit our goals. Now the only “boss” we report to is our daughter at snack time 🤣Corporate America is a great place to make money...But if you want to live life on your terms...You need a different strategy.

Funny thing about money...The more of it you have, the more obvious it is that other things matter far more. - Your spouse- Your children- Your peaceMoney just makes those things easier to protect.Working hard, investing, and getting ahead financially are all incredible...Just don’t forget what you’re doing it all for. by @budgetdog

Before I get the wild comments saying…“ENJOY LIFE A LITTLE!!!”This advice is for the people who are *actually* trying to build wealth.Anybody can get a basic corporate gig and spend 50% of their paycheck on a car...But I’m not talking to people who want to be reckless with money.Build wealth first, then buy the cars.Thats all I’m saying 🤣Share this with someone who could use it...And follow me for more @budgetdog 🤝🏻 by @budgetdog

This could be a no brainer for new parents 👀P.S. The returns I’m projecting here are based on 9% over 37 years of compounding. This is average performance for US index funds, but figured I’d flag it here in case anyone was curious.Hope this helps!
