But here are the steps:
Step 1- Save $1000 Emergency Fund
Step 2- Pay off all Debts Smallest to Largest - using the funds you free up to add to the payment of the next debt - aka the debt snowball
Step 3- Complete the ER fund with 3-6mo of savings
Step 4- Put 15% of your income toward retirement
Step 5 - Save for Kids' college
Step 6 - Pay off House Early
Step 7 - Become Wealthy and give a lot of it away
Thats the VERY high level overview but the Key to step 1-3 is budgeting - give every dollar a name -- on paper - on purpose every month - Keep a $0 Budget meaning every dollar has a Job
we are hooked
We want to live like no one else so later we can live like no one else.
