Steps to Financial Independence: Step 6

Steps to Financial Independence: Step 6

The idea and reason for the name of this website is the goal of reaching the financial summit. This idea came about from thinking about hiking in the mountains. Hiking is one of my favorite things to do, but does not happen very often, because Houston doesn't have much of an elevation change. Therefore, I have to go on trips to visit and hike different regions across the United States. There is something about being in nature that calms your soul. There is something about trudging through the country side to eventually reach the top of the mountain. This can take hours and sometimes days, but it is worth the reward of the view from the top of the mountain. You might even get to sit down and enjoy a snack or a sandwich as you relish the view from the top.

We Can All Be Millionaires

Becoming a millionaire has always seemed like an impossible feat for someone growing up in middle america striving to become a teacher. I had never thought about even reaching one million dollars.

What Can We Learn From the Tortoise?

I am sure that we all remember the children's story called the "The Tortoise and the Hair." This story has always been one of my favorites, because it is the true underdog story. That's like Coastal Carolina winning the College Baseball Championship. Coastal Carolina has never won a Championship in any sport prior to winning this one. The school's first National Championship in any sport was earned in 2016.

The Importance of Patience

The Importance of Patience

This past week I was reading an article by Milllennial Money Man (M$M) about Patience.  He used a great personal story about how some months there is lots of growth with his blog and some months, there is no growth.  He also says that he has some articles that are a hit and some articles that are a flop.  He used a great example of how people can get bogged down on trying to make a quick buck.  They try those late night infomercials and all they get is run into the mud.  So based on this article, I want to pose a question.  How can we continue to strive for something, if we don't see the reward?
