Financially Simple

I vividly remember playing baseball while I was growing up. I remember hitting the ball, running the bases, and hearing the fans go crazy. And, of course, there's my dad on the sideline, jumping up and down, pumping his chest like a peacock, and shouting that he's proud of me. The wealth game can have the same effects on our lives if we play it correctly—moving from home plate to first base, then setting our eyes to second. In this episode, I discuss what it takes to move from home plate to first base. I describe the first base of the wealth game. I explain why many people get trapped in this first stage and outline how to avoid it. I discuss what a "lead-off" means in baseball and how it applies to the game of wealth. I also underscore the power of our aspirations.   "The game of wealth is super easy. Turn at first base and look at second; keep the destination in mind; don't get sidetracked by the allures of a company. Focus on what matters most: second base." - Justin Goodbread   This week on the Financiall
