The 6 basic financial rules that will help GET YOU RICH.

//THREAD//
1: Save a 6+ months emergency fund

If you don& #39;t have an emergency fund, then you& #39;re living at *extreme risk*.

You don& #39;t need to do this overnight. Start small, build over time.

Your future self will thank you.
2: Invest 20% of income in long-term investments

If you spend the majority of your salary, then guess what?

⇢ You& #39;re "fake rich".

Alone, salaries don& #39;t build wealth. Neither does saving.

Investments build wealth.
3: ZERO credit card debt

Your credit card is a convenience, not a way to spend money that you don& #39;t have.

Credit card debt is:

✓ addicting
✓ high interest
✓ tough to eliminate

And, it KILLS your ability to build wealth.
4: Drive cars until they die

I don& #39;t mean this literally. But, driving your cars until they are impractical or unsafe is a GREAT way to save thousands on cars.

Buy quality. Maintain the hell out of it.

Then, drive it until you can& #39;t.

Boom.
5: Ignore your neighbor& #39;s buying decisions

Don& #39;t keep up with the Joneses because most Joneses are broke.

Focus on you and your family. Your needs.

Your neighbor isn& #39;t paying your bills, so don& #39;t let them turn you into a financial idiot.
6: Walk more

Walking is a great way to think.

It also gets us outside and away from our computers and Amazon.

It& #39;s also great for your health.

The next time you& #39;re bored, try walking.
