Buy only what you truly desire. Don’t buy to impress. Don’t buy because everyone else is buying. Don’t buy to fill a void. Don’t buy things you won’t use consistently. Always buy intentionally.

Increase your income yearly. Never go a year without increasing your income. Get creative.

Repair your car instead of buying a new one.

Tip 13

Keep an eye on your credit score and credit health to ensure you’re the only one using it.

Until you reach financial independence, live with family, friends, roommates, etc., to save money and live below your means. But you may want to continue living with others even after reaching financial independence. Extra cash flow always feels good.

Tip 20

Intake copious amounts of financial advice, but make your own decisions about which advice to follow. But the one piece of advice you should always follow is: Invest now. Invest early.

If you have debt, invest while you pay off your debt because one thing you cannot get back is time; and compound interest thrives off time.

Tip 22

Don’t spend money to impress people, not even yourself. What a waste this is.
