Achieving Financial Freedom: What You Should Know

Do you feel "okay" with your current financial situation? Have you come to a place of acceptance,

in which you hold the belief that you are powerless? The fact is that you are not powerless,

and if you truly want to know how to make millions, you must first learn to become full functioning. 

When you do this you can enjoy the fruits life has to offer, as well as the good things that money

is able to do for you, as well as the world. This definitely sounds like a game worth playing, right?  

Achieving financial freedom does not necessitate that you make a six figure income.

It does, however require you to make smart decisions each and every day.

The following tips will help you discover how not only to obtain financial freedom,

but also build wealth that you have only dreamed about.

Step 1: Plan

You need to take time to sit down and set lofty, yet attainable goals for where you want 

to be and what you want to achieve.

For example, you can say that you are going to have all debts paid in the next year

or that you are going to live for under $20,000 this year.

There is no one that is going to make you save money or tell you not to waste 

thousands of dollars on unneeded purchases; it is completely up to you.

Step 2: Save

Once you know what you want to do, you need to know how you are going to get there

and begin taking steps to do so.

This involves saving more money than you spend.

You can create a traditional budget and then manipulate every dollar 

extra that you have to make it work toward your financial freedom.

 Step 3: Pay Off Debt and Invest

Now that you have begun to save money, you need to do something with it that will build

your wealth. You should not just stick it in a savings account and forget it, invest in whatever

you can find that has the highest return. In the past 100 years, the highest returns were gained

from small business ownership, stocks and real estate; however, these also come with risk.

While investing is important, you also need to be focused on paying off your existing debt.

All of your debt should be eliminated.

Once you have done this you will actually be on the way to truly building your wealth.  

The biggest thing to remember is that creating financial stability and building wealth are achievable; however, you have to be consistent and take control of your finances.

While it may be easier for someone who is making six figures to build their wealth

than it is for someone making minimum wage, it is achievable for everyone.

Smart saving and smart investments can take you a long way and make a huge difference

in the amount of wealth that you have throughout your life.
