Reaching Financial Freedom Isn’t About How Much Money You Make. It’s About How Much You Invest.

But you’ll never invest enough unless you think differently.

Financial freedom may as well be a unicorn fantasy.

Most of us never get there. You already know it’s crucial to invest. Many DO invest. So what’s the problem then?

We don’t invest enough money, so we never unchain ourselves from the need to work for money.

This is what I did to invest 80% of my income.

The one that screws everybody up the butt

You want financial freedom. It sounds nice. You have the best of intentions.

Then the opportunity to take what you’ve earned and spend it is presented. Most of us take it. Why?

Humans are terrible at delayed gratification. We want to drink the milk from the coconut we took from the palm tree right after we risked our life to get it.

Learning to invest isn’t the problem. Learning to earn money and have nothing to show for it is.

Don’t worry, I’ve fallen into this trap many times. What’s the trick?
