The 5 Rules of Money:
The Pathway to Financial Freedom Welcome to ‘The Rules of
Money‘ as presented by Michael Malata.
The principles listed within are nothing
new but their execution can be the difference between Financial Freedom and
financial failure. By committing yourself to following these rules of money on a
daily basis, you are beginning to walk the path of Financial Freedom. Should you
follow these rules long enough, the success you seek will find you.
RULE
#1-SPEND LESS THAN YOU EARN
This is the first and greatest rule. None of these
other money tips will help you if you cannot or will not spend less than you
earn. This is commonly referred to as to live within your means'. What does this
look like? You make $100k, you might spend $50k and save the rest. You make
$20k, you spend $15k and save the rest. In both scenarios, the individual is
generating savings.
RULE #2-CREATE AN EMERGENCY FUND
The first goal you should
be saving for is a well-capitalized emergency fund. An emergency fund is a fancy
term for having money available for when those pesky unexpected expenses hit.
The car breaks down? The house needs a new roof/furnace/windows? Your child
needs to have braces and you have not yet hit your deductible? No worries, all
of this is covered by your emergency fund.
RULE #3-SAVE OR INVEST THE REST
so
you are spending less than you earn, you have your emergency fund built up -what
next? Here comes the fun part-you look for creative ways to invest the rest of
your money. By this stage of the game, your acumen will have increased to a
point where you have the 'basics' taken care of and will now begin to seek after
the next stage in this financial journey, investing. The key to a successful
investing strategy will be to own a good mix of stocks and bonds inside of a
well-diversified portfolio.
RULE #4- CAPITALIZE ON YOUR SKILLS AND START A SIDE
ENDEAVOR
Each of us has special skills that we bring to this world. Your goal is
to find out what those skills are and then capitalize on those skills. The idea
is to find the point where "PASSION POTENTIAL" and to pursue that idea until you
have taken it to its full completion. This stage of the game is known as
generating 'Active Income': income generation for which you you trade hours in
the day.
RULE #5-OWN INCOME GENERATING ASSETS THAT CREATE PASSIVE INCOME STREAMS
Once you have an emergency savings set up, you are diligently working to pay off
debt, and you are in a financially stable place, your immediate goal is to build
systems and buy assets that can make money for you. In this place we can get
creative with our ideas you could own real estate, stock vending machines, buy
Lime or Bird scooters, sell ebooks and courses, or buy stocks that generate
dividends. The ideas of how to generate passive income is limited only by your
imagination and ability to work hard.
