10 Money Goals to Maximize your Wealth

// Thread //
1. Build an Emergency Savings Fund

"63% of Americans cannot afford a $500 emergency."​

They would have to resort to:

- Using credit cards
- Using debt to pay debt
- Using other high-interest debt

An emergency fund only benefits your financial health.
2. Develop & Stick to a Budget

To build a budget, you have to:

- Track your income
- Track your expenses

Figure out where your money is:

- Coming from
- Going to (and how much)
3. Eliminate Credit Card Debt

Credit card debt is bad because of:

- High-interest rates
- Potential to damage credit

Credit card debt can drain:

- Your budget
- Your savings
- Your future portfolio

It's time to eliminate all credit card debt.
5. Establish a Solid Credit Score

Benefits of a good credit score:

- Better chance for loan approvals
- Better insurance rates
- Negotiating power
- Lower interest rate
- Bragging rights
- Higher limits

Solid credit score = more money in your wallet.
6. Save for Retirement

The earlier you start:

- Saving
- Investing (consistently)
- Investing in low-cost index funds

The more likely you will:

- See a return on your investment in your future.
7. Understand that Health and Wealth Go Together

Don’t take your health for granted.

Make sure to:

- Exercise regularly
- Stick to healthy foods
- Stay away from caffeine/sugar

You won’t be able to generate high income from a hospital bed.
8. Build Additional Income Streams

The wealthy typically never rely on 1 income stream.

Possible examples:

- Royalties
- Their main job
- Rental property income
- Dividends and interest paid
- Second business income stream

9. Pay Yourself First

Society tells you to:

- Spend
- Consume

Instead, use your paycheck to:

- Pay off credit card debt
- Add to your retirement plan
- Add to your investment portfolio
- Add to your emergency savings fund

Never live bigger than your paycheck.
10. Stick to a Productive Routine to Build Healthy Habits

Successful habits could include:

- Meditating
- Reading books
- Waking up early
- Eating a healthy breakfast
- Exercising daily for 30 minutes

Implement a healthy habit now.

Consistency will lead to automatic behavior.
Ultimately, you have the power to:

- Change your financial future
- Start the path to financial freedom
- Leave a lasting legacy for your family
