Does saving money feel like a puzzle you just can’t solve? Many find that even after covering life’s essentials, stowing away for the future, and yes, those deserved little splurges, the savings just aren’t piling up as hoped.
Here’s a nugget of truth: to hoard more, you’ve got to pull in more. Think about it this way: a 10% save from a $100k salary is $10k. But with $200k? That’s a solid $20k in the bank. Sure, you might try to stretch your savings percentage, but life has its own surprises. So, why not focus on the one thing you can tweak: your paycheck.
Thinking a work promotion might be the ticket? It’s a start, for sure. However, most companies have their eyes fixed on profits. To genuinely amp up your earnings, the initiative’s on you.
Begin with what gets your heart racing. Track down those hidden gems by:
- Probing into ventures that resonate with you (think podcasts, guru chats, and current market vibes).
- Plot a course – brainstorm ideas, draft action steps, earmark funds, and pinpoint timelines.
- Keep your feet on the ground. Remember, the market can be a fickle friend.
- Stay nimble. Adjusting sails as needed is all part of the journey.
