Financial Independence
Your Reward for Success!
Having sufficient money is a standard indicator of success. Personal financial independence provides flexibility and allows you to support those in need. Developing a habit of saving regularly is crucial for long-term success. It's also important to teach children about saving early to prepare them for their financial self-sufficiency.
Save For the Long-Term
Discover Compound Interest!
Automating your savings can help you accumulate funds with minimal effort. The longer you save, the more you benefit from compound interest. For instance, a 30-year-old who saves £1,000 monthly for 30 years at an annual return of 5% will accumulate £797,266 by retirement at age 60. In contrast, a 45-year-old who saves the same amount for only 15 years will end up with just £258,942. This comparison highlights the significance of long-term saving. Committing to long-term savings demonstrates your dedication to building wealth for the future.
From my book
"it does matter"
Question: How much should you aim to save by the time you are 60?
Answer: Aim for $/€/£ 1 million in liquid investments plus an additional $/€/£ 1 million in fixed assets (net and debt-free).
Achieving this target will grant you financial independence when you need it the most!
