Part 3/8:
Consider your financial obligations: rent, groceries, bills, and more. These expenses can feel like a form of modern slavery, where every hour worked essentially translates to serving others—be it landlords or service providers. If your net income is $2,000 a month and rent consumes $1,000, you're effectively dedicating half your workweek to your landlord. This perspective can reshape how you view spending habits and cravings for material possessions. By committing to saving at least one-tenth of your income from the outset, you establish a habit of valuing your contributions, laying the foundation for future wealth.
