\nThe truth is, though, some of us are better planners than others and some of us live for the now and spend in the moment. But somewhere out there, beyond the shiny feel-good of today, our future selves are waving their arms around trying to get our attention.<\/p>\n
\nMost people believe the key to wealth is a high-paying job. Yes, of course it\u2019s easier to amass assets if you have more money coming in every month, but one key to increasing your net worth is to spend less than you make and then make it work really hard for you, and not someone else.
\nThinking long term is an important characteristic of accumulating wealth and achieving financial independence. Being financially independent means that the income you generate from investments alone is enough to cover all your expenditure.<\/p>\n
\nBut without proper financial planning we are not ready to respond to challenges that life may throw our way. Hence we become reactive. Having a sound financial plan in place ahead helps us to become proactive.<\/p>\n
