Have you thought about who you’ll be when your kids are grown?
I once spoke to a stay-at-home mom whose kids are fully grown. I asked her, now that her kids are getting married, how she would cope.
She told me she would go visiting them one after the other, about six months each, and spend time with them. As much as this sounds good, there are things to consider. What if one of the kids refuses? What if I’m bored?
Even if I decide to go back to school, learn a skill, or start a business, how easy is it to pick yourself up at 60?
And even now, in an ever-evolving world, starting something small; a business, a part-time job, a skill is not a walk in the park. You need time and effort to catch up with how far the world has gone.
So why not make it easier and start now?
Because even to get to a point of financial freedom, speed matters. Wealth requires compression, and time is not neutral. It either compounds or costs you.
