This was me last year.
Carefully budgeted...to have $50 in the bank by the end of 2019.
Bought family new iPhones, Earpods, and gifts they truly deserved.
Had just enough for paying Property Taxes,
&
insurance...
Then felt defeated...

Traded in old phones and flipped so many things to earn that money.
Legit, everything was researched and the best prices were gotten.

Literally, saved $1000s from all the #negotiating and saved $$ for those gifts.
Really shooting for that "saving 15% or more on..."

But paying off those bills and watching everything saved throughout the year go out the window...hurt.
Seeing a balance of $50 felt like getting stabbed in the chest.

That's when I realized I was doing it wrong.
I should've used everything I saved to buy assets.
Make my dollars work for me...

Now about to close out 2020 with a BANG! 
So thanks if you made it to the end.
Remember that you can do it.
It all starts with you.
But there's a community waiting with open arms to help push you up.
