In the final episode of the Money Pit series, we’re tackling one of the most common, and dangerous, financial traps: kicking the can down the road. 🛣️
🧠 Whether it’s delaying retirement savings, ignoring debt, or waiting for “the right time” to get serious with money, this mindset can cost you big.
In this episode, we cover:
⏱️ Why saving now matters more than saving later
🔑 How to start with just 10% — even if your income is low
💪 The power of building discipline over dollar amounts
🪜 A quick refresher on the DIY Money Steps
🗺️ A sneak peek at our next series: The Money Map
Don’t wait for a raise, a better season, or “someday.” Take control of your finances today and set yourself up for long-term success. Start small. Stay consistent. Be disciplined.
And remember, the secret to wealth is pretty simple: live on less than you make, invest the rest, and do so for a very long time. Make it a great one!
