Don't rely on one job. Create side hustles or investments for multiple income streams, and assign every dollar a specific purpose. Without a plan, your money won't grow.
The big thing when it comes to this cost of living is 2 things. A, you can't just rely on one job or one income stream. That's incredibly risky, like incredibly risky. So you either go and generate a side hustle or you get yourself invested and start to grow some multiple income streams. So you need to go out and focus on how you're going to increase your income and you also need to get a personal finance system in place. So when every time a dollar hits your bank account, it has a plan and it has a purpose. Right? Because a dollar without a plan, without a purpose— money loves order, money loves strategy, money loves structure. And if you don't give it the ecosystem where it's going to thrive, it's going to go to somewhere else's back pocket who's providing an ecosystem for it to grow in. So get a personal finance system and start focusing on how you're going to develop multiple income streams, because I don't think this cost of living is going to be coming down, um, in a big, big way anytime soon.
