When I meet with young people I have to spend time explaining to them that while their net worth is low or even non-existent today their ability to earn is priceless. PRICELESS!
Overtime that will change.
As they get older and start saving, the scales will tip the other way.
Their years of earning power will decrease while their net worth increases.
Do you get it?
The ultimate financial goal is to save enough money so that you can use your assets to replace your income.
–To get to a point where working is optional and not required.
–Where you have enough money to pay yourself– rather than having to clock in 9-5 everyday.
So to maximize this situation you must maximize your earning potential.
Making latereral career moves does not help. Seize opportunities, find the right company and don’t fear being aggressive in the job market.
Your future depends on it.
