Most people think financial progress is about earning more, saving more, and investing better.
But thereâs a part of the equation almost nobody talks about:
How you finance the things you need throughout life.
Because whether itâs a car, a home, a business, an investment, or an unexpected expenseâyouâre always financing. The only question is how and through whom that financing happens.
You finance everything you buy. You either pay interest to someone else or you give up interest you could have earned elsewhere. There are no exceptions. â R. Nelson Nash
This post breaks down that idea and shows how that thinking leads into understanding the banking function in a completely different way.
If you understand this, you stop thinking only in terms of âsaving and investingâ⌠and start thinking in terms of control, liquidity, and flow.
