An Introduction to Financial Independence with Chris Mamula, Brad Barrett and Jonathan Mendonsa
Description
Personal finance is easy, right? You read a blog or listen to a podcast and just follow everything they did. Easy, Peasy, Lemon Squeezy.
Except that’s not how the world works. What brought success to one person may bring misery - and ultimately failure - to someone else. Personal Finance is P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L!
Of course that said, there are some general principles that apply to everyone:
- Spend less than you earn
- Invest wisely
- Increase your income
- Track your spending
- Be money conscious
