Six Money Rules for Financial Success 💰

Last year, I found myself staring at a credit card bill that made my stomach churn.

I had maxed out my card, and the interest was piling up faster than I could blink.

That's when I realized I needed to get serious about managing my money.

After months of research and trial and error, I discovered six golden rules that turned my finances around.

Today, I'm excited to share them with you.

These six rules have transformed my financial life, helping me save more, invest wisely, and spend mindfully.

Remember, personal finance is just that – personal.

These rules are guidelines, not gospel. Adapt them to your situation and watch your financial health improve

A self-reflection question we should all ask more often 🧠

I heard this on The Tim Ferriss Show, and it completely stopped me in my tracks:

Read that again.

Put simply, you're part of the problem (sorry, but it's true).

Every time you tolerate something you don’t want, avoid a tough conversation, or settle for less, you reinforce the very situation you're unhappy with.

If you're stuck in a situation you don’t like, ask yourself: how am I contributing to this?

Use these 4 steps to break the cycle:

1. Identify your behaviors: Pinpoint the specific actions or decisions that are keeping you stuck.

2. Challenge those actions: What can you stop doing or change today to disrupt the pattern?

3. Set clear boundaries: Decide what you will no longer tolerate from yourself or others.

4. Take action: Take one small step right now toward the outcome you actually want.
