Afford Anything Do Justice Love Mercy

    • Self-Improvement

It's very simple to think of bright, instantly rewarding investment possibilities as a path to financial security. A software that can lead you to easy street, a cryptocurrency with a hockey-sticking price, and a tremendous. success on the stock market. Paula Pant, the host of the Afford Anything podcast, argues that achieving true financial freedom is a lifelong journey.
Imagine your financial situation as a tree. Although the leaves and fruit are appealing and stimulating, the tree's strength rests in its roots. The same is true for good finances: they start with determining what you value most and what you can actually afford.
The long-term strategies you need to see that through can then be created from there. A world of freedom can become available to you with some discipline and a steady, value-driven attitude. You might not be able to purchase everything, but you can purchase anything.
