Course Description
Let’s start with hypothetical questions.
First, if you are given the freedom to earn the amount of money you’ve always wanted to earn, how much would it be? Second, how much money would you have been paid for by the time you reach retirement age? Third, how much of that money would have gone to your savings or investment accounts? And fourth, how much of that money would have gone to everything that you owe?
Now let’s do a reality check. First, how much are you earning now? How different is it from your ideal income? Second, up to your last payroll, how much money have you been paid already? Third, how much of your earnings have gone to your savings account? And fourth, how much money has gone to everything that you owe?
Theoretically, the average American would have earned around $2 million in a lifetime. The question is why few people end up earning their first million. Most Americans barely reach the 100,000 mark when it comes to the assets they have by the time of their retirement.
