Quotables

“Even if you’re only making $24K a year, learn how to manage your money and make it grow because I could compare myself to someone who’s making half of what I make and they may have more money and a greater net worth because they understand how to manage and invest their money.”

“My commitment to myself and my family is now that I have access to understanding what passive income is even through just investing, is to just have those vehicles where I can passively make income.”

“I wanna be financially secure and the way to get there is by setting up multiple streams of passive income.”
