Analysis
I just made $30,000 this month. Great paycheck.
I just made $30,000 this month. Great paycheck. I am going to go out and have some fun. First off, I'm taking my boys out to dinner and then we're going to go to the club. And the next day I chartered a boat. We're going to go down the Miami river and we're going to party and we're going to have a lot of fun. And by the way, I also just got a brand new BMW M series. That's how I roll, guys. And I even got a few thousand to put into savings. Oh wait, maybe I don't. I forgot. I have to pay rent this month. I made $30,000 this month. Now I got to figure out how that 30 can multiply. So for starters, I'm going to take a third of that money and I'm going to put that into investments. Whether it's funds, whether going to be into a new business or it's going to be into something that's going to pay me back down the future. I'm going to take another chunk of that money and I'm going to get myself out there and I'm going to meet the top in class in what I do for business. I'm going to fly out to meet them at their businesses. I'm going to go to seminars. I'm going to put all that money to work. The last thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go out and have some fun with that money. Because I did, after all, earn it. Rich people spend what they earn. Wealthy people reinvested into the future so it comes back tenfold. Invest in yourself and invest in your future.
