Was Just browsing around and realized I am at Stage 1 of wealth building as defined in this article -
LINKA long read
#copiedStage 1 – POOR - this is where your annual expenses are equal your income
Stage 2 – COMFORT ZONE - this is where your annual expenses are lower than your income. As a result, you are running a surplus budget.
Stage 3 – PREPARATION - this is where you generate a surplus budget, and you have managed to dispose of all or almost all your bad debt
Stage 4 – ASSET BUILDING - Asset Building - this is where you have managed to use your surplus budget to buy assets that generate additional income over time
Stage 5 – FREEDOM - Stage Five - this is where you have acquired enough assets that they pay entirely for your expenses
