You can also create your own products or services too. The point that I am trying to make is that we need to switch the script from residual bills to residual income.
In other words, change your behavior from being a consumer to being a creator. We all have to consume but at least minimize the consumption until you have real financial wealth to spend. instead become a creator. Start creating things. Start documenting things.
I said real financial wealth to spend because if you start acquiring assets and minimizing liabilities. Eventually, you might get to critical point where your asset are generation so much income that your expenses from your lifestyle won’t be able to keep up with all the money that is coming your way.
In other words. The profits or the income that your assets are generating is so much that you take a portion of that income to generate more income and another portion of that income to live what ever expensive lifestyle you want. Forever!
That’s why you might hear many time that the richer get richer.
