Tell your money what you want it to do—list your expenses and track them monthly. This is crucial for married couples; when you align financial goals, you strengthen your relationship. Second, utilize automatic investing. Sign up for your employer’s retirement plan and invest consistently. Many people become accidental millionaires just by following this simple step early in their careers. Finally, invest in yourself—your health, skills, and knowledge. These investments will pay dividends later in life.” - Randall AveryConnect with Randall Avery:Website: https://deasilwm.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/randallavery/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/randall.avery.7 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rsadeasil50/ Randall’s BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Hacking-System-Creating-Your-Own/dp/0999403508 Connect with Dante Royster:Website: https://www.danteroyster.com/Epic Mortgage Website: Epic Mortgage, Inc.
