Living a rich life is not about the number in your bank account, what kind of clothes you wear or the car you drive. A rich life includes feeling fulfilled and cultivating a sense of abundance – sans retail therapy. Every time you think about whipping out your wallet for the latest “it” item you just have to have, pause for a moment and ask yourself this question: what if I put this same amount in the markets, where it can grow and work for me?
The new “I deserve it” should be about creating the life you want in a responsible way, not about trying to impress by “keeping up with the Joneses.” Building a strong financial foundation is empowering – it’s like paying your future self. You deserve nothing less than a bright financial future!
