ESI has spelled this out as well as it can be said…Earn, Save, Invest. It is really that simple. (That doesn’t mean it is always going to feel easy, but it really is that simple). Persistence wins every time!

My daughters already get so excited when they look at their accounts. I get these wonderful, “…Hey Dad, look at this…” messages from them as they see their own FIRE numbers compounding now. It’s so freakin’ awesome! It’s really about persistence in those three fundamental areas.

Also, don’t be afraid to try something new like real estate investing. It’s not for everyone, and that’s OK. But for those who can wrap their heads around it, it can be a phenomenal investment over time.
