Freedom Ain’t Free!!! It comes with a price. That Price is Knowledge.

The number nobody ever set

I ask every family who sits down with me the same question.
What's your number?

Not what you make. What you need. The number where the money works so you don't have to.

Almost nobody can answer it. And honestly, that's fair.

Nobody ever taught it.

Here's the whole thing, plain.
→ Decide what income you want your assets to send you every month
→ Back into the total that supports it
→ Then work backwards to what you set aside monthly

That's it. Three moves.

The families I sit with are usually surprised twice. The number is smaller than they feared, and the monthly is boring, not brutal.
We built the calculator so you can run it yourself in about 30 seconds.

Freedom aint Free. It comes with a price. That price is knowledge. Today I wanted to share the 3 phases of financial freedom planning. No strings attached. Over the weekend I was speaking at a local church and one of the members asked me "Where do I start". Here is my answer. If your goal is to become financially free then you must learn to live off your assests and not your labor. To build a strong portfolio you need to think like a home builder. Start with a strong foundation of protection (life insurance, disability insurance, long term care insurance) Then proceed to the accumulation phase. Max out your tax deferred options to your company match, and build the rest of the portfolio with tax advantaged investment stratgies. Finally begin the long climb to wealth. This part of the strategy requires focus. I teach my clients to focus on building a $2,000,000 portfolio. This assest will create the income you need to buy your freedom. Now with the time, money, and focus you can start to build your wealth. Top it off with your Family Trust and you may have just created something that your family has never seen. You focused on them. Let me know if you guys want me to do a video on this topic.

Freedom aint Free. It comes with a price. That price is you have to plug the holes in your financial plan. If you have tried to do it alone, if you can't get your advisor to call you back, if you just don't have time because you are focused on your career.

Freedom aint Free. It comes with a price. That price is Hard Work. We help our clients learn how to live off their assets not their labor. We also teach these lessons to people that have made some mistakes. If you have been working for 10+ years and you still aren't on track to get, then you have made some mistakes. We teach a class at the Richmond City Jail each week to those that have made some mistakes as well. We offer them what we offer you. A plan to get you out of the rat race so you can free. Thanks Sheriff Antionette V. Irving for allowing us to give back in such a meaningful way.
