Yes, money can buy you happiness. When you spend within your means and still have enough to take that dream trip, that can truly make you happy.
You’re spending some of your money doing just that. I know this because it’s what we talk about. Right now, for example, some of you are returning from a European vacation or Central America, while others are enjoying time in the sun from Apalachicola to Delray Beach and the Keys.
You gotta live. And live you can if you’re careful with your money. As my mother always says, “prior planning” can make dreams come true. The same can be true with your money. Prior planning can be all the help you need to be an inflation fighter. You set your goals, and you make it happen.
You are your number one investment. The work you’ve put into your business, your career. You made it happen. Building your savings. Doing without. Living within your means. You did it. And here you are. Pretty amazing how far you’ve come, isn’t it?
Remember how you got here. And understand that it’s a different skill set to stay where you are. Because fortunes are lost by people who think investing is easy. The hard part is trying to keep what you’ve made—being patient while others aren’t.
Action Line: There are plenty of opportunities out there to invest in everyday areas like energy, for example, or in areas where you spend money for living expenses. Make sure you get your lazy money off the couch and enjoy your retirement life. When you’re ready to talk about your opportunities, I’m here.
