You have to let go of old ideas and practices and be willing to change. Different actions will bring different results.

“Money is like manure. You have to spread it around, or it smells.” – J. Paul Getty
If farmers don't use the manure on their farms to plant seeds none of the crops will grow, which will lead to starvation. However, if they spread the manure all over their fields and plant the seeds then they can grow a plentiful amount of crops and have peace of mind from starvation.
This same idea applies to money. Once you earn money, you have to spread it around into different investments or it will never grow.
If you let your money sit in a savings account it is losing value every year.
The Stock Market and Real Estate are two ways that wealthy people use to make even more money.

If you are courageous enough to take the leap of faith and be different then you can reach a level that most people cant.

"Never Spend your money before you have earned it." -Thomas Jefferson
Spending money you don’t have yet is the worst mistake you can make.
Buying things you don't need is one of the quickest ways to get into bad debt, which will ultimately hinder you from reaching your financial goals.
The more bad debt you accumulate, the more stress and worry you’ll accumulate.
Having money problems will not only hurt you financially, but it will also hurt your emotional health. It’s important that you understand how to control your finances so you don't end up in this miserable situation.
Thomas Jefferson is best remembered as the person who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States.
“Trade money for time, not time for money. You’re going to run out of time first.” – Naval Ravikant
You will never get rich by renting out your time, and trading time for money might be one of the worst ways to make a living.
At a young age, we were all told that we should follow the regular career path of working 40-hour weeks to receive a stable paycheck in order to earn a lot of money. Well, we were lied to.

Again relating to the last quote from, Naval, stop trading your time for money.
Buffet's words should be a wake-up call for most of you. You need to find ways to earn passive income in order to reach financial freedom.
Trading hours for dollars isn't the answer. Unfortunately, most people do this until the day they die.
If you want financial freedom you need to be different.

"The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does." -Napoleon Hill
The difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people is that little bit of extra.
As entrepreneurs, you might not see the wealth you deserve right away, but if you continue to work hard and believe in your end goal then you will eventually be rich.
Financial freedom takes time, hard work, and discipline. The hard work you put in will yield results over time and you will be happy you put in the extra work.

Yes, this is my quote.
You need to get serious about your financial goals and take action before it is too late.
One of the leading causes of stress comes from having financial problems, so it is essential to come up with a financial plan in order to avoid these problems and reach financial freedom.
Get serious.
